Practice Digipak Designs

Design One

This is the first rough idea for the inside of my digipak. I used a picture of the artist, and on the opposite side I used an image of a location that I plan to use in my video. I used this particular picture because I think this fits into my music video. I would also be able to use this picture in my real digipak because I took the picture myself rather than getting it off the internet. I will experiment with different colours for my digipak but also with the aspect of black and white, and I will then use the one that I think is more effective. I like this idea most as I think that this one is more effective and looks more proffessional as well as looking more interesting.

Design Two

I have been experimenting different designs that I could maybe use for my final design for my digipak. As my chosen artists fall under the genre of Indie (pop-rock) I didn't want  to design anything that is to over-the-top. As the artists don't use an image of themselves on their album covers, I won't be using an image of the artist but will instead use an image that relates to the artist, but I might be using an image of the image on the inside cover. I used a microphone as The Script are about their music, so I used this to promote their simplicity but also the value of their music for them. I also thought that The Script is about lyrics, so I used a microphone to symbolize them being spoken.

I edited the microphone image using filter on my second design and texture to make it stand out more compared to the background. I then used bold yellow and orange for the title and name of the album to stand out next to the grey, and also because they are associated as being Indie colours.

I then used my created barcode on the back next to the production label to attempt to make it look more convincing, with a picture of a microphone stand next to the track listings, which relates to the front cover.

I edited the second picture by rubbing out the rough edge of the image and then edited the shadow and part of the microphone in purple to give it an edge, and also changed the shape and style of the writing to match. Then I added a stand on the background, and on my real one I will take pictures of the microphones stand for this part.
