Barcode

I created a barcode for the Digipak. I felt that if we researched and used any barcode on google images (for example) then it wouldn’t be original therefore I wanted to be creative and do our own. The barcode was created on Windows Paint. I got a small template from online and then edited it myself. The barcode will be going on the back of the Digipak at the bottom as every single/album has one. Here’s the barcode;

Examples of digipak

One example of a digipak is Michael Jackson’s This Is It album;


That album is a digipak because it contains 2 discs and the ablum actually has gatefold (book-style), which means it closes like a book. I believe that the This Is It album is the best example because it's probably one of the most successful album ever. The album was the twelfth best selling album of 2009 in the United States and the third best selling album of 2009 based on worldwide sales.

Another example of a digipak is Kanye West album Heartless;

What is a digipak?

Digipak is an original style of compact disc or DVD packaging. Digipaks typically consist of a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside. Digipak-style packaging is often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums and the tall DVD Digipak (DVD Digipak) is used as a premium package for DVDs and DVD sets.

Here is a blank Digipak that shows how a Digipak looks;

Moving on

We are so excited that we have finished now we are looking to hand out the music video, so that we can get feedback from the audience as we want to improve the video. Since a high grade is what we crucially need. However what we are now going to concentrate is on creating our digpak for the single so that it looks realistic as possible. Therefore in the next upcoming days we are going to be planning and researching what we want in our digpak so that it's very effective. Lastly we are also going to be looking at creating our on advertisement because that is also apart of the grading criteria. In the next few days I will be posting our progess and our plans on the next tasks that we are doing.
