Digipak Templates

Today I have been contemplating the overall design/blueprint/template for my digipak. The most obvious digipak is one with 4 panels and one tray which I have a basic design for in my mind (I will do a post on it soon). I have downloaded a template for this kind of digipak. However, I also downloaded one with 4 panels and two trays. I want to trays since I want to put a DVD into the album as well as the CD to just tie it into the music video a bit more. However, the problem with this template is that it leaves very little room for creative designs. Therefore I would ideally like a 6 panel digipak with two trays. Unfortunately, this does not exist... My reasoning was that just adding an extra 'page' in the middle would work but actually this would mean that there would have to be an extra plastic 'page' which just wouldn't work. Thus, I am left with an 8 panel 2 tray digipak. This gives me more work to do, but hey, that means more potential for marks so it doesn't really matter I guess. Also, as you can see in the pictures, the first two inside panels could go together nicely so might work as a 2 by 1 elongated image if you know what I mean. The two panels make up one image. Anyway, these are my thoughts so far regarding this subject.

These images are GIFs apparently so they may move or do something weird...
