Digipak Research: Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

The digipak for 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' by Kanye West is very unique and interesting to take influence from when creating my own digipak.

This Digipak opens up into four sleeves, each containing something different.

This is a picture of my copy of the digipak fully opened so all the sleeves can be seen. If looked at carefully, these drawings form the name Kanye West- the name of the artist. It is clear that much thought was put into the planning and detailing of this digipak as every small area is covered by some form of art relating to the artist or the album.

When the two outer sleeves are folded inward it can also be seen that it says the title of the album on the left hand side, and the track list on the right hand side - all cleverly drawn in a similar style to the name of the artist above.

The left hand sleeve contains the album booklet containing album credits, lyrics and other pictures. The left centre sleeve contains the five interchangeable album artworks, as can be seen below.

These pieces can be slid into the sleeve, which has a small window from which the artwork that is at the front can be seen.

The two right hand sleeves are used to contain the CD and the 30 minute 'Runaway' music video DVD.

This digipak is very interesting conceptually, however I could not create something like this myself for my digipak as I do not have several items that would take up several sleeves worth of space. However, the idea for an interchangeable cover is one that I may use for inspiration.
