2. I found this net for a fairly traditional Digipak design on the internet. If I choose to design one like this I think these measurements will come in useful for making my work really professional looking and accurate. However, personally I prefer the taller digipak designs (such as the one I featured in my ‘what is a digipak’ presentation) because I think they are more aesthetically interesting, and more versatile in terms of what graphics and composition can be used on them. I tried searching for a net on the internet for the taller digipaks but unfortunately couldn’t find one so I will have to take some measurements and create my own net from an existing example.
3. Here are some examples of covers of indie albums that I liked. All of these would be quite easy to create on Photoshop. Black and white colour schemes and mirror images seem to be quite popular. It also seems to be quite fashionable to only write the name of the band and not the album on the cover.
