Further Digipak Research.

After researching various pieces of album art, I decided to carry out digipak research to learn more about how they are constructed and what the conventions of digipak designs are.

From previous research, I've learned that each face on a digipak usually has 12cm by 12cm dimensions, however that varies slightly from design design. After searching through websites and images for accurate digipak dimensions and templates, i eventually found an accurate template off the following website:


This template has accurate fold lines and shows the position of the CD in regards to the rest of the digipak. I intend to create a digipak with 6 panels because it'll feature more detail than a 4 panel, which is what I would look for in a successful digipak.

This is an example of a 6 panel digipak. It's kept fairly simplistic and the images are all fairly similar to one another, but the shots are varied. For example, the far left features a close-up and the image on the far right features a wide shot. Although similar in content, the shots vary, which makes it interesting to look at.
