Online I have found different template designs for possible digipaks for my work. In this post I will be discussing the benefits of each layout and finalizing my decision on which template would be best to use for my work.
Template one gives me the option of using four panels that would include the front cover, back cover, CD compartment and inside panel. This would perhaps be more similar to some of the digipaks that I have analyzed for my research and could therefore be more conventional to my genre and artists style. On the other hand this gives me less photography options and I will have to be very selective with the images that I choose to use. As this layout is perhaps more simplistic in style it would require a lot more attention to detail in terms of the formatting, which would be some thing I would need to consider.
Template two is the larger template out of the two allowing me to be able to experiment more with the images I use and giving me more scope to enhance my artists 'star image'. This template includes the front cover, back cover, CD tray, the inner panel where the booklet will be placed and a second inner panel with front and back side that will cover the CD when it is closed. When looking back at my research into digipaks I didn't find many pop digipaks that had this layout. Whilst it gives me more space to promote my artist and his brand I don't feel that the additional panel is necessary for the type of ablum I am creating and would perhaps be a little repetitive in style with the imagery and design I am planning to use.
Overall I feel that the first template will be the template that I choose to use for my digipak. Whilst there are less panels available for me to use, the layout is more consistent and in keeping with my chose genre and I feel it will enable me to focus more on the finer details of the product so it creates an effect, professional and promotion digipak design.
