Digipak template



This is a typical 4panel digipak template. I chose a 4panel template because it looked like it would be more appealing and it would make the audience seek out more information that isn't included on the digipak

This template gives colour codes to help make the cd digipak as professional as possibly . 
  • The front cover: This usually contains the main image, artist name and song title
  • Inside cover: this usually contains a booklet with all the songs inside and their lyrics. There can be a background image for when the booklet is removed
  • Spine: This is the part of the digipak contains the least effort, as it simply states the artist name, song/album title and record company name, however it is still important as the audience can use the spine the quickly recognise what the cd pack contains. 
  • The back cover: This part has the track list which is the most important part, however it also has the record company and production names on it and the barcode in the corner.
  • Inside back cover: this is where the cd is actually placed, however once the cd is removed there isn't a blank space however usually a symbol or image which relates with the band/artist.
CONVENTIONS of a CD digipak:
  • artist/band name
  • song/album name
  • tracklist
  • visual images that relate to the song/album
  • booklet containing information on the songs and the lyrics
  • record label name and logo 

This is how the cd panel looks like. I want an image on the CD so i have decided to make a separate copy of it to put onto the digipak. I am adding am image because my artist is meant to be new on the market so i want the audience to get used to seeing her image and learn to identify her logo her music.



This is the website i got the templates from : http://www.discwizards.com/cd-dvd-artwork-templates.htm
