3D digipak designDigipak development

To get a better understanding of how the eight panel digipak will look I created a mock up out of card. I really wanted to see how the interlocking panels would look when in their final format and make sure all the elements were laid out in the correct order of a conventional digipak.

Seeing it constructed, I feel that the strongest part of the design is the album cover and back because they have a stronger linking house style compared to the rest of the digipak. I focused on the two designs because they will be the first impression to audiences and will need to capture their attention, persuading them to buy the digipak.

I feel that my decision to change the outside colour of the digipak was a successful design change because the inside and exterior now compliment each other and create an enigma to anyone who sees inside the digipak when it is folded.

The double panel illustration doesn't match up completely because it is only a paper mock up and the folds aren’t one

hundred percent accurate. Taking this into consideration, I think that the spread looks good because it is simple yet effective. I had thought of adding text, such as lyrics onto the background but felt

that I wanted the panels to be their own stand alone piece.

I noticed when constructing the digipak that the inside end panels don’t look as professional as the cover, this might be due to too much negative space. I want the design to look minimalistic to attract the audience but don’t want it to sacrifice the quality of the product.
