Ancillary Task 1 - Researching Digipaks

Now that the video is complete, I am going to start producing the first of my two ancillary tasks which is the digipak. Before I create my ancillary task however, I am going to research into different types of digipaks. A digipak is a form of presenting a CD or DVD through a book style paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one ore more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside.

Four-fold digipak:

The digipak above is a CD digipak. The front would usually have an image of the artist or artwork associated with the artist and the title of the album, whilst the back would include the track list and other information. Inside would be a slot for the CD and maybe a poster of the artist on the left.

Six panel digipak:

From the images above you can see a six panel digipak. The front is similiar to a four fold digipak and consists of an image of the artist or artwork associated with the artist and the title of the album, whilst the back would include the track list and other information. Inside however, would instead be two slots for the CD rather than one such as in a four fold digipak.
