This is an example of the lay out i want for my digipak, i want it to use 6 panels as it allows me to be creative with the imagery and display a lot of information because of the ample space.



This diagram shows how the digipak should be planned when in the making stage and how it should be cut out. It also gives the standard sizes for a digipak which is important so it can be displayed in any kind of CD holder or stand. This is because all CD holders will comply to the same standards so all are compatible.

The temper trap's existing casing is on a traditional jewel case CD. My CD case will be a digipak which is a folded cardboard case with a tray glued to the inside to hold the CD. The cardboard is folded into 3 sections, they are a lot less vulnerable to cracking than traditional jewel case's. They also stand out more when sat next to traditional jewel cases because there are a lot less digipaks on the shelves than other types of cases. The typography in the album cover is in a simplistic font and is in white lettering, this doesn't draw your attention to the font too much but displays the information clearly. The layout if the cover is symmetrical, focusing all the attention on the image in the centre. The colour is a very dark background with white lettering, this makes the lettering clear but the dark colour isn't what you would expect from the alternative music. The image of the woman in the centre, also doesn't conform to the conventions of alternative music album covers, it looks like a traditional portrait of a woman. The woman's face is very meaningful and could grasp the attention of potential buyers very easily.
