Digipack Spine and Layout

Before completing the Digipak there were a few final decisions that had to be made regarding the spine and layout. The way in which the CD is stored within the Digipak is a creative and personal preference. After reviwing various Digipaks that we had at our disposal we chose the more classic plastic casing option, as we felt it suited the style of the Digipak more.

The next step in completing the finishing touches of the Digipak was to decide and design the spine of the album. This is a practical requirement as it binds the album together. We created a space large enough for the spine and then considered what needed to be written. It needs to disclose the key information of the album and is reasonably important as it is the only section that is seen when the album is on a shelf. Much like with the layout, we looked at other real-life Digipaks before making a decision. We designed the spine with contuniuity and in the same colour as the rest of the Digipak. We then continued the use of our bold font utilising the two key colours of black and white, and coupled this with our band logo. These details brought our Digipak product to near completion.
