Digipak - What is a digipak?

A digipak is a style of CD packaging. It consists of a front and back cover with the addition of other features. We will be making a 6 panel digipak. As well as a front and back cover, we will also have a page with image of the artist and a page with the lyrics to the song. We decided to include these due to the research we had undergone earlier. This is very common, especially for indie/acoustic artists and seeing as our artist/song falls under the indie/acoustic genre we felt it was suitable. Due to the 'digital age' consumers tend to download their music thus losing out on this physical feature. They miss out on the interesting additions artists put decide to put in their digipaks.

Florence Welch from "Florence + the Machine"had included a booklet in her album full of lyrics and the interesting stories behind the making of the songs. Its something you can't experience through a download.
