My Digipak: I have decided to do a 6 panel Digipak,

conforming to the brand dimensions, containing a leaflet in one of the panels.

Sticking to the genre of the music video, I used some of my themes and set ideas from the video to help me research the visual ideas of the Digipak.

My Digipak will have two CD slots, one for the main track and the second for bonus content.
