Research: What is a Digipak?

When I had recieved my ancillary tasks, to create a magazine advert and digipak for the album I will be making a music video for, I wondered; "what exactly is a digipak?"

After a bit of research I found out, according to wiki:

"Digipaks typically consist of a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside."

I had found many different types of digipaks, and different ways they are folded. As I wanted to keep with my theme of simplicity in my designs, I opted for a 4 part Digipak, including a front cover, back cover, poster insert and a circular CD design, (similar to the "Cruel Summer" digipak).
