Ancillary Text: CD cover, back and spine
For my first ancillary text that I have to make. I have chosen to create a digipak CD cover. Here is the template that I am going to use for my digipak. For this I have to design and create my own album cover by using this template to help me. From using this template it is a good guide for me as it includes measurements that I have to stick too and so I know what to go by.
Digipaks
Digipaks are a designed cover for a cover for a CD, DVD or BD packaging. Digipaks typically consist of a 'book style' card stock outer binding, with one or plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside. A digipak also includes a track list, information on who produced the album, tracks and the artwork. However how technology has improved people now do not buy CDs as much as they used to due to streaming such as iTunes and access the songs from online for example off YouTube, Digipaks not only give you all the songs that are on the CD to play but now add such things as 'bonus songs' which will allow the artists to add more then just the songs that are on the album. This will make the album much more personal to them.
