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. Since Digipaks were among the first alternatives to jewel cases to be used by major record companies, and because there is no other common name for Digipak-style packaging made by other companies, the term digipak or Digi-Pak is often used generically, even when the media holder is a hub or "Soft Spot"rather than a full plastic tray.
looking at google images and searching for other digipacks on todays market, we found some examples that we liked, and some that not nessecarily we liked the idea of, but were succesful digipacks and got good reviews. this way we can pick up ideas which work in terms of producing a good digipack.
This album cover is good because it incorporates a natural feel, a relaxed feel, and is a shot of a simular surrounding in which we want to photograph our band.the rule of thirds is followed here and we want to stick to that outlay of our cover.
Another example is the album Noble Beast by Andrew Bird.
the cover is simple yet stands out and is relaxed and visually pleasing on the eyes. it is another woodland forest type image and although there are no band members or band logos we feel it is original yet hardhitting, and hopeuflly we can transfer some of that into our cover.
