Key information for the Digipak:


  • Some biographical information about the band or artist. What is their sound? Where are they from? Is this their first release?



  • What else is included in the Digipak? Use your imagination. What other things would you include? For example - live concert footage; exclusive documentary about the band or artist; interviews; a making of the music video etc.



  • Artwork/images/photography - the digipak must look interesting; it should also represent the artist or band in an approriate way. It may feature a picture of the band or artist; or it may have an interesting image instead.


  • The digipak must feature the band's or artist's logo. If they don't have one - design one!



  • Digipaks normally have an information booklet that fits on the inside sleeve of the cover.



  • BBFC certiciation (12A, 15, 18)



  • Record company logo



  • Myspace address



  • Bar code



  • Blurb on the back that tells you what is inside the digipak.



  • Review quotes (Kerrang, NME etc.)


Have a look at some excellent Digipak research:

Follow the links to see all of Jordane's DVD Digipak project; also look at her DVD Digipak magazine advert and music video. Look at how the three elements all work together. You can tell they are all connected. This is known as creating a BRAND IDENTITY for your artist or musician. This is a key element of the year two project.
