DigiPak - Own Design
Creation Process
1) To begin with I planned to take a variety of images after filming one of my actors. This specific photo-shoot was aimed to take photos primarily of my male actor whilst he had the ' horror ' make up on. During the photo-shoot I gathered a large collection of good quality images. When it came to creating my digipak, I simply referred to the images I took previously.
2) Secondly I downloaded a four panel digipak template for Photoshop before starting to arrange my typefaces and Images on top of the template. Starting with the front cover, back cover and spine. I arranged two pictures of my actor in the same position on both the front cover and back cover so that his featured lined up perfectly. Removing either the right side or left side of each image, it gave me the effect that he was both smirking and having a normal expression at the same time.
3) Starting to add the text on my front cover and song list on my back cover, I used two concordant typefaces. On my front cover I simply used the bands original logo ( to keep consistency ) and placed it on a right alignment. For my back cover I used a font I found on Dafont, but putting down a track list, copyright material and bar-code.
4) Moving onto the Disk cover and the inside casing, I used the bands own typeface ( the one they used on other products with the title " The Day Is Our Enemy " on ). To keep consistency throughout my products I used a saturated version of the text on the inside cover, and then a desaturated version of the text on the CD cover.
Refinements & Feedback
As for refinements and feedback I decided to create two almost identical inside cover digipak designs, but change the song title slightly within each design. After doing some audience research, It was concluded that the first option was the better one.
Below is the tally chart I took to gather my information.

DigiPak Research
What is a DigiPak
A digipak is a type of packaging for specific disk, normally a CD. Generally made out of cardboard or plastic different designs of digipak can contain internal slots or trays for information leaflets and disks. There can be different types of digipak, for example some have four panels and some have six. Like stated previously digipaks are made from paperboard or cardboard, thing being the outer build, with one or more plastic trays inside capable of fitting multiple disks. Digipak style cases grew in popularity among record labels in the early 2000s due to there easy maintenance and cheaper cost. There is no common name for Digipak style packaging made by other companies, the term digipak or "Digi-Pak" is often used generically.

Examples
As you can see from the image below the first digipak I will be analysing will be a Nine Inch Nails product. Primarily the first thing which draws the audiences attention is the use of colour. This dramatic colour scheme limited itself though to only blue to white hues. On the first panel the bands album cover is a desaturated blue colour, the image which has been chosen also only consists of a monochromatic colour scheme. This means there is no other colour than blue in the image.
Another thing which is prominent in the Nine Inch Nails digipak is the use of font and consistency. Both of these factor are important to make an effective album design. Although the picture is not completely clear on the smaller body text, the title of the bands album is noticeable a sans serif typeface. The colour of this font consists throughout the rest of the design being that all type is either a light blue hue or white. As for the bands name they have their logo which is a completely ordinary thing to do. This is also to keep consistency. By linking specific logo's and imagines it makes it much easier for audiences to recognise which band has released curtain merchandise.
