Exsiting digipaks that influenced mine

This digipak gave me a very good skill to use, as you can see i've circled that the information about the digipak is included in the birds shape. Most digipaks include some infortmation about the artisit, the digipak. I have included this in my digipak as I think it makes the audience have a more relateble experience and a better understanding of the songs. I have used the same skill in my digipak by including the information inside the flat lanscapes I made on photo shop as it made it stand out and look more interesting.

I like this Dijipak as the pictures of the lanscape flows as 1 image, I think this is a technique that it is effective as it gives the customer an idea for the enviroment the artist feels comfortable in

Iconic album covers

Below is a list of the most iconic album covers 

The Beatles: Abbey Road

This pristine shot of the band crossing the road in unison takes place just outside the EMI studios on abbey road. The photo has led many a fan to venture to the same spot in an attempt to recreate the short . although likely without the assistance of the stepladder and traffic cop halting traffic it took for photographer Iain Macmillan to accomplish.

The Beatles: Sgt. Pepper's lonely Hearts Club Band

Perhaps the best known album cover of all time, The Beatles standing in front of a floral garden and donned in day-glo coloured suits, are surrounded by wax statues of themselves, cardboard cutouts of over seventy celebrities and a Shirley Temple doll in the right edge of the shot, wearing a Rolling Stones sweater. the famous shot is about as eye catching and detail rich as album art gets

David Bowie: Aladdin Sane

The cover finds the father of glam rock shirtless, embracing his rock star status, with a red lightning bolt painted across his right eye. It was one of many Bowie covers to focus on his distinctively flamboyant look.

N.W.A.; Straight Outta Compton

Great covers can offer a sample of what to expect on the album. This view from a beat-down from the group on their 1988 debut does an excellent job setting the stage fro the lyrical ass whooping it contained.

Pink Floyd: Dark Side Of The Moon

Ordered to come up with something"smarter, neater-more classy" for the cover of their eighth studio album, the classic rockers settled on this prism design from George Hardie. Considering this is one of the most widely known images in all of rock, mission accomplished

Basic Digipak research

Digipak is a patented style of optical disc packaging. Digipaks typically consist of a gatefold paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one ore more plastic trays capable of holding CD or DVD attatched to the inside.
Digipaks style packaging are often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums. Digipaks style cases grew in popularityu among record labels and recording artisits in the early 2000's

This is an example of a 4 panel digipak. The 4 panels consist of the front, the back, the inside of the front which sometimes consist of the lyrics, then the panel which consist of the CD nornally in a plactic casing which you pop the CD out of a card sleeve.




This is a 6 panel digipak. It has extra panels to explain more about the artsist and the song whilst doing the same as the 4 panel digipak they are as equally as popular.
