Our teachers handed us a simple Do and Don't handout setting guidelines that would set us on our way to making a proffesional looking digipak. Above is a screenshot of a section of the handout. Many of these rules had to be recited for example the rule on how we should not place text in front of the artists face, they helped me a lot seeing as hadn't made a professional looking digipak before. The image below example of a failed Digipak, you can see the name of the artist covering the image on the screen, this covers what should be the main part of the cover. There are two different fonts used in this video, although this could be pulled of the creator of this digipak clearly uses the wrong colour and fonts as it seems like it was made in about 2 minuets. By looking at these unsuccessful digipaks the Do's and Dont's where vital.
The image here is one of the past years final digipak. The digipak follows many of the conventions from the Do's and Dont's, there is no font covering the artist, the name of the artist, title and song list are all in the same font. The digipak works for me because there is a colour consistency throughout all the digipak sides, i will learn from these digipaks and hopefull make a succesfull looking digipak myself.
