I firstly measured around a CD case to get the
measurements. This would make my own product
accurate and look more professional. I took the
measurements down to later put then manually into
Photoshop to create a CD size.

I’ve also included once again the measurements so I could refer back to them

and included it onto my Flatplan for inspiration.

I’ve also included once again the measurements so I could refer back to them and stick

were requested by the artist I need to stick to them as much as possible.
7. Inside
Although I haven’t stuck to my original colour scheme I have kept close enough, when I
tried using black as the background it looked too dark. So I used the colour sample tool on
Photoshop to take a silver/grey colour from one of the images I took of my artist.
The CD is blue which is the colour I used throughout with using the colour sample tool. As
much as possible I tried to stick to the colour scheme and therefore made the writing on
the CD silver.
I have included all the information I needed on the inside of the Digipak introducing the
artist and artists they have worked with.
The lines I have used were made in The signature at the bottom on the inside of the

10. Outside
On the outside of my Digipak I have stuck to all the colours in the colour scheme: blue,
silver, black. Although the background is not quite black its not far off. The black I originally
tried didn’t look right and made the whole production look bland.
I have included the ‘parental advisory explicit content’ certificate
because some of the lyrics are inappropriate for a younger audience.
However the artist is aiming at an older audience.
The barcode I have included was created online at:
http://www.barcodesinc.com/generator/index.php I thought it
would be a cool feature to have and makes the Digipak unique to
the artist.
I have included the website addresses for YouTube
and Facebook where the music video can be found.
My artist asked me to include both of these sites to
advertise him, I thought putting this at the back of
the Digipak would be the best place. I am also
planning to put it at the end of my music video.
11. Outside
On the back I included an image of my artist
and the feature artist together. This is to
show both artist and so when the video is
published the target audience will know who
is who. I once again added the border
around just for effect and to make it stand
out.
The font throughout the Digipak is all the same to make it look more professional. Overall
I am happy with my whole design because although I haven’t used bright colours I still
think my design stands out as it is simple yet noticeable.
I have used a range of images of the artists featured on “shot facts” which show the artist
in different aspects – an extreme close up of the main artist so we know who he is, an
image of him working on his music and an image of him working alongside an artist.
I have stuck to the colour scheme blue black and silver as well as possible and I think this
is an advantage as continuity throughout will help the CD to look more unique and
noticeable.
