Digipak and poster process.

A digipak is- a patented style of CD, DVD or BD packaging. Digipacks are a type of CD packaging made out of card stock or other heavy paper/cardboard material. Digipacks can flip open like a book, or it can have three parts, so that one portion of the packaging opens to the right and one to the left, with the CD in the center portion. Usually, the portion of the digipack that hold the CD is made of plastic like a traditional jewel case CD - the plastic part is simply attached to the paper background.

A promotional poster- a promotional poster is a a4 sized poster which will be featured in a music magazine such as NME, Q, THE ROLLING STONE ETC. This poster will advertise and promote the band, tour dates, website and sell the brand image. It is a promotional tool, which is used by record companies in order to globally let society know about this various band. Many examples which we liked was firstly the record company were using, one reason for this is because it is a grime record label, fixing in with our genre of grime.

For our Digipak and promotional poster i firstly researched all logos and aspects which i would like to feature on my digipak and poster. I used the Internet tool "google" in order to find the logos and pictures i wanted to use- these were. This picture is the logo i used, it includes bar codes, bbm bar codes, special edition sticker, a recycle sticker in order to fit in with the environmental scheme, the copyright logo to follow the laws. And the last logo is our record label logo.

This picture above is the starting process of creating our digipak, we are using Photoshop and a Digipak template, which gives us a starting point. As a group we would like our Digipak to follow the artistic route, although not be overcomplicated, simple at the same time. We have a lot of ideas up our sleves and as a group have finalized one idea, which are in the Middle of processing.
