Digipak Template

Digipak Template

I have selected an image of a digipak template off the internet which i will follow when creating my own digipak. This is a standard 4 panel digipak template which consists of a front image where the artists, name and picture and album name will go, the back of the panel where the tracks of the song within the album will go and the two inner panels which will have the colourful CD with artists and album name on it and the other with an information booklet about the artist.

I will have to research and choose a suitable font which complies with my genre- Pop, The font will be used for the albums name and artists name which will go on the front panel and the CD. 

I will also need to use Photoshop to create an album picture which will be of the artist herself. This will go on the front panel of the digipak as that is where the artists image would typically go.
