Digipak

A digipak is the casing in which a CD comes in. It is important to have a powerful digipak which the audience would like as this is what they see when going to buy a CD, so it is important that you still follow the forms and conventions of your music genre.

Muse
The Resistance

Biffy Clyro
Only Revolutions

Both of these CD have the important information on the front like the Artist/Band Name, and the name of the albumn.

When creating a digipak though you need to create more than just the front cover you have to create the back cover, and also the art for the inside cover and whats going behind where the CD will be placed.

Here on this Albumn you see that the CD has a good clear photo in the background
and flows across both pages.
