Digi-Pak Analysis

In this post I am going to analyse some Digi-Paks that I already own. Unfortunately I could not find any Digi-Paks that were made for a Rock band like our own so I will not be analysing the imagery and styling so much, I will be looking more at the layout.
Below is J Dilla's Donuts album. I wanted to look into this as this is probably the layout that is closest to what I want to do.

Front Cover: Simple, Title and artists name is clear. One large image covers the whole panel
Spare Panel: Minimal design, one small image in the bottom right, small print in top right
Inside panels: One graphic runs across all 3 panels
Back Panel: Similar to the spare panel, small image on the bottom left fills the empty space, whilst the track-list takes up the left side. Record label logo in top right.
I really like this Digi-Pak. Its minimal design with the theme of Donuts running throughout makes for a really consistent package.

Below is some more images of the rear covers of some Digi-Paks that I could use as inspiration. One thing I can immediately see from these examples is that the writing doesn't take up much space at all. The majority of the panel is filled up with imagery
