RESEARCH...

Digipak-
As well as designing a tour poster and billboard design for my ancillary tasks, my teachers have also suggested that I create a Digipak. At first I had absolutely no idea what one was but after conducting some much needed research, I have a slightly clearer idea now.

As always, I turned to Wikipedia which stated that:

'A Digipak is a patented style of compact disc or DVD packaging, and is a registered trademark of AGI World Ltd., an Atlas Holding company.'

Still slightly confused, I read on:

'Digipaks typically consist of a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside.'

Now that I am aware what Digipak's actually are- I am going to find some examples to gain inspiration for my own designs.

Here are a few examples:

This six-panel digipak uses consistent images.
I hope to use conventions such as the track listing on the back for my design.



As before, this design uses consistent imaging and colour schemes.
I also wish to incorporate the idea of an image behind the text also.

The next step now, as with my other ancillary tasks,is to draw up my draft work.
