Ancillary Work: What is a Digipak?

So what is a digipak?

A digipak is a modern approach to CD packaging made from a thick cardboard, giving it body. Inside you will find information about the artist/band compressed in to a small booklet that is inserted in to pockets made inside the digipak. They are creative and pleasing to the eye, covered in all sorts of colours, graphics and text relevant to the theme of the artist/band which is easy to establish. They can be made from a range of panels from 4, 6 or 8 and they can be folded normally, or outwards to come out as an extra when you open it. It's your choice. This is to allow extra space for another disc, for example or a booklet, any extra information you feel necessary to add.


Here are some examples:



 
This one folds our in to three and there are multiple booklets full of information relate to the artist, their music. There is also space for two CD's.

 
This one folds out into three as well, however there is only one CD. You can see the colour scheme fits  well and the font/text isn't too large and is also in good contrast.
