Digi4. star image rules

I have been focusing on star image on the album covers, and have been interested to see a prominent links between all photos portraying the artist on the digipak cover. 


  • the star should be well definite in the image.
  • the image quality must be very good.
  • mise en scene must be in keeping  with the continuing styles of the artists
  • style of cover artwork should be the same as the style of music video

Digi3. difference between digipak and CD

This is CD

This is Digipak.

There are a number of differences between the two:
A digipak refers to a certain kind of CD case, the one that I will be designing. It essentially consists of a plastic disc tray that has been glued inside a folded cardboard case. Digipak once referred specifically to the patented digipak packaging but has now become a genericized trademark that is basically used for any cardboard centred CD packaging.
They are made of paper, and despite this they were once considered the environmentally friendly version of CD cases, however they have remained less common due to the fact that they can survive less wear and tear than jewel cases, particularly when they are in the store, on top of this they have higher manufacturing costs. 

A jewel case/ CD case consists of 3 peices of plastic put together to create a protective case for the disc. The plastic disc pinner is generally the same as in the digipack, yet information about the CD including the case is pinned in to the front of the case, and printed onto separate paper. The back artwork can be held securely in place between the CD and back plastic. 


why i feel digipak is better:

The digipak has 6 sides, therefore there will be more opportunity for visible artwork, information or promotions. This way the artist has a better chance at attracting potential buyers, such as fans, as they will see the digipak as more than just a disc of music, it is a collectable item as well. In comparison to the jewel case, all of this additional information is easier accessible, the sleeve in a jewel case is easily ripped when removed or put back into the plastic grips, making it unappealing to remove. On a digipak all information is very easily accessible.

include:

  • The artist name
  • The album title
  • The names of the songs on the album
  • The copyright label
  • The record company
  • Album credits
  • Album artwork
  • Barcode
  • Disc holder
