Pictures of final digipak design



Digipak analysis


What is a digipak?

A digipak is commonly found as the deluxe edition of an album for many bands, it consists of a cd holder attached to an openable hard-cover booklet which contains extra information on the album such as lyrics, bonus images and track listing. The most common size for a 4pp digipak is 139.5mm x 6mm x 125.5mm.

Our attempt at a digipak

W attempted to recreate the digipak for Gorillaz' album Demon Days which proved more technical than we originally believed. W took our pictures and then edited them which took longet than we had antcipated but it resulted in a final product which we believe to be of a good standard.
