I researched Digi-paks looking at their content, how they look and significantly what design will best advertise and repersent the band. Therefore I have been looking for real examples of Digi-paks or similar CD and DVD packaging to get a better idea of how they look and the conventions that they follow, for example:
I like the slit pockets style it gives you the opportunity to place a insertion in. I found the content of the insertions either consist of lyrics, or information on the band and photographs.
DigiPaks make a big statement, they are more environmentally friendly compared to plastic jewel boxes.
Digipaks will allow easy customising of the ‘band’ or ‘artisits’. Their logo, song/s and possibly stills from the music video could be included in the digipak.
Other instutional elements that go on the back cover of a digi pak include barcode,company name/logo , reference numbers,track listings, web address,credits, copy rights notice and record.
I measured a 4 panel digipak- 12.5 cm by 14 cm , this will be the measurements I will use for mine.

You have made a good start here - but have done nothing on REALLY looking at actual digipaks to notice design issues and conventions or institutional elements that are always included...
