Flat plans of digipak

These are some flat plans for the inside of my digipak I will be making. I decided to create a digipak like the 'Myth' album I previously looked at, this means that the digipak won't be made out of plastic but will instead fold open and won't have a booklet of lyrics inside.

This is the first design I made, I thought I would see what it would be like if the CD slot was in the left section, I thought it would look good if there was text in the middle section , such as a track listing, the names of the people who worked on the album and maybe the artists 'Thank You's'. On the right section I would put a picture of the artist and place similar drawings that are used on the cover in the background. I don't think that having the CD in the left section is something that I will use for my digipak, as I think because it is the main focus it should be placed centered. I like the idea of having a track listing and other bits of information included in the digipak, because I think if it was placed all on the back, it would be too cluttered and the digipak would look bare and boring. I'm not set on the idea of having a picture of the artist in the digipak aswell as having one on the cover, I think having a similar background to the cover, having drawings and text would make it look too busy.

This is the second design for the digipak i'm making. I placed the CD slot in the middle section and think it looks alot better placed here, making and showing that it is the main feature of the digipak. I thought it would be good to split the text into two different boxes as I thought it would be difficult to place it all in one box. I placed both text boxes on the outer halves of the left and right sections. I would put similar drawings that are on the cover in the remainder parts of the left and right sections, leaving the middle section plain for the CD slot. I think the symmetrical layout of this digipak design works really well and think it woud transfer well. I would be able to have a similar- if not the same background inside and it wouldn't look too cluttered. I decided to leave out a picture of the artist inside because I think it would take up too much space and would make it look too busy and messy.
