What is a digipak?

Definition- "A type of packaging for CD's or DVDs, typically made from cardboard with an internal plastic holder for one or more disks".

For our coursework we have to create a digipak for our chosen artist and chosen song. Digipaks are very similar to regular albums, however, instead of being made out of plastic they are cardboard; also, they're more expensive than regular albums too. Digipaks open like a book (as you can see from the image above). Using this design it allows there to be more room for inserts: lyric books, multiple CDs, etc. When an artist releases a special album digipaks are usually the chosen packaging due to the more professional and lavish look they provide. 

When creating our digi-pack we need to consider things such as colour schemes, style, fonts and how it is going to represent our artist.
