Introduction to Digipak's

We were introduced to digipaks at the beginning of the course where we learnt about the programs that would create a digipcak, these programs included photoshop and quark.

Digipaks are used by record companies to promote a artists album, the digipaks can vary in size, there are 4 and 6 panel digipaks. the contents of a digipak vary on the genre.

Photoshop has amazing altering features which allows users to cut an image out and add visual effects to a picture, text can be manipulated and altered to suit the users requirements.

Quark is specialist software which allows users to create simple digipaks. simple digipaks consist of a picture of the artist or a location, record company logo and bar code. Quark is perfect for novice users as it is simple to use with very few icons. 

In the creation of my digipak i intend to use photoshop as conventional 'grime' digipaks consist of a wide array of visual effects which make the album look more urban which intern draws in a specific audience
