digipak

What is a Digipak?

Digipaks typically consist of a bookfold paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside. It means the CD comes in a cardboard flip-out case rather than a standard plastic hinged case.

Digipak-style packaging is often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums and the tall DVD Digipak  is used as a premium package for DVDs and DVD sets.

The Digipak for michael Jacksons this is it is a tribute to the concert that never came to be. It features all of his best songs and a backstage look into rehearsals.The concert looked as if it was going to be a massive success but unfortunately michael passed away before it could get underway.
 

 Adeles digipak is very simplistic as adele is all about the music and not all about "Showing off". It appeals to a wide audience as it looks like just a music album and isnt specifically targeting a single group. Nothing stands out on the cover its just a simple photo with a track list on the back.



Above is a basic template for a digipak and it is the one ill be using when i come to create mine. We will have the disc held in the middle surrounded by photos of the band members and band props.
