For my insert I chose to use a six way fold technique that allowed for six panels each side. This is because I wanted a space big enough so that one side of this insert could be folded out into a mini poster for the owner of the digipak. This creates a free piece of merchandise for the audience and could encourage publicity if it was put up somewhere others would see it. I first drew the squares each 11 by 11 to make sure they would fit (once folded) into my digipak slot of 12.5 by 12.5. To create the poster side I then again used one of my images from my photo shoot and used photoshop elements to edit it to my liking (straightening, brightening etc).
I then used a circle tool to create a spherical shape in the middle of my image for my text to go in. I used the transparency tool bar to adjust the opacity and make the circle faded so that some of the image was still visible through the shape. Finally I added text across the center of the circle to show the name of the artist and complete the poster.
To finish the panels I added a thanks to one of the panels and a crediting panel to the other. The panels read "Thanks" "Kordula would like to say a huge thankyou to all involved in the making of this album. Without the continued support of fans, friends, family and our amazing production team this would never have been possible. A special thank you to moon and rust records "
"All tracks written and recorded by Kordulas Published by moon and rust records Mixed by Kain Davis at boomsoundroom Los Angeles CA, Mastered by Tom Sterling at SterlingSound CA Art Direction by Kacy Maitland at Dotscop"

To finish this side of the fold out insert I added a circular image I cut out on photoshop and faded it so it wouldn't make the text over the top unreadable.
Here are the two sides of my insert fold out. (The grid lines show where the panels fold)
