Digipak Template


I did some research on digipak templates, I thought it would be best for me to keep it simple-like many album layouts of the same genre of music as mine. I came across a website which offers free downloads of digipak templates. The template I have chosen is the 'CD Digi Pack - 2 Panel / 4 Page - 1 tray (Pocket to hold booklet).'
The link to the web address is http://www.ineedmedia.co.uk/duplication_and_replication_artwork_specifications/cd_and_dvd_digipak_templates/cd_and_dvd_digipak_templates.html
The information supplied about the digipak template I have chosen is '2 Panel/ 4 page Digi Pack - 1 Tray /1 pocket to hold 4/24 page booklet (118 x 118) - Finished: 139.5 x 125.5 x 7.5mm
Paper 330g - Printing: Ofset - Finish: Ultra Violet Gloss (Matt available on request) - (Matt available on request)
Tray: smooth black, white or transparent '

This website has supplied me with all of the accurate information I need to create this digipak. I need to keep in mind that any artwork text must be atleast 5mm away from the bleed edge(indicated by the dotted line), artwork for the underneath also needs to be created because the CD locator is transparent and artwork must be at least 300 dpi.

CHANGE OF PLAN

I have been advised to use one of the digipak templates which the college's course information (Moodle) includes. It gives a link to this webpage... http://www.discwizards.com/cd-dvd-artwork-templates.htm
Out of the options I have chosen the 6 panel digipak which stores 2 CD's. The template is much simpler to create because my course teachers will be able to help me with creating the design as they are familiar with these templates and it can contain more of my work.
