Above you can see a quick video detailing my progress so far. Since my digipak is practically finished now, I have continued to be meticulous in implementing the conventional features that are found on digipaks. For example, I originally had a barcode on the back that had its colours inverted in order to match the black background. However, after a little bit of research, I found out that this wouldn't work as the colours of barcodes must be specific in order for them to be readable by a scanner. Because of this, I changed the barcode back to its standard black against white colours.
In addition, I have added copyright information on the bottom, which is displayed in small lettering. I created this by adapting an existing example from a digipak, but substituting the label for that of which Poppy Power is fictitiously signed to. To help, I found a copy of Aphrodite by Kylie Minogue, which was released under Poppy's label Parlophone - a subsidiary label of EMI. Below you can see the copyright excerpt from this album, as well as that of Laura Marling's debut album, Alas I Cannot Swim, which is another example that I looked at.
Finally, because I have decided to include a bonus DVD with my digipak, I will have to add some extra information about this. I realized this after purchasing the deluxe digipak edition of Evanescence's self-titled third album which, on the back, displays the DVD logo, the acronym 'NTSC' (which signifies the DVD format), and total running time.
Features that my digipak will have in common with the above examples:
- Copyright + label information
- Barcode
- Website
- Label logo
- DVD logo
- DVD format
- DVD running time
