Development of Digipak

When we first decided on designing the digipak, I decided I

would design the layout on paper. We looked at having a 6
layout digipak, instead of having 4. I wanted our digipak to be
different, therefore not having all our photos about our artist.
By having the swings and trees this symbolises friendship as we
see in the video the park where the two school girls would play.

it easier to piece the digipak together as Ill only have to edit
the pictures in photoshop.

This is the previous image

for the previous album. We
decided we was going to
change the whole style of
this album.

This is the first image we decided

to use for our new album cover. We
felt this photo was suitable for the
front cover as its professional and
stands out, the flowers also add an
elegant effect.

Font Testing

This is final selected image for our font cover. This is the image we
really liked as its simple but yet so elegant with the little features in
place, such as make-up and costume. It adds a sense of warmth
whenever you look at it. The facial expressions portray the
message of pain which is linked to our narrative of Illness.

1st Edit- Black and white

I wanted to see how the
image would look when
edited in Photoshop,
therefore I used the black
and white adjustment
layer for this image.
I dont think its suits really
well, therefore I wont use
this for our final image.

2nd Edit-Saturation
I edited this image to a
warm saturation layer,
but as a group we felt
there was something
missing from this image.
Also from our audience
feedback, we got the
impression that it
doesn'tt properly attract
or engage the audience
as they felt there was
something missing.

3rd Edit- Retro

I edited this image to make it
look retro/nostalgia. This
image does look nice as it
defines the whole image but I
dont think it would suit
because of the other colours
on our digipak. It would look
out of place and really odd.

Editing of the image- We decided that we wanted the picture to

be as natural as possible, therefore I just changed the brightness
and contrast levels in order to make this image look more
professional for our front album cover.

This is our first edit of our font album cover. Using Photoshop I was able
to change some of the colouring on this picture. After some audience
feedback I decided to change a few things round to make this even more
better.

This is our final edit of our album cover. I feel that this is going to stand
out to our target audience as the font is bold and distinctive. The image
of our artist is professionally taken which makes it more successful for our
album cover. Ive just changed the colour of the font on top All of The
Troubles and the saturation of the image to make it more natural.

This is an extreme close up shot of flowers taken on a chair. For the back
of the digipak, we selected this image as we wanted it to look and feel
different to a typical singer-songwriter digipak. Therefore by having this it
makes our digipak different and unique.

Final edit of our back cover- I used the font Rainbow and Georgia as I feel
these fonts suit with the back cover. Ive also used a light blue for the name
of the songs part of the album as I wanted to add colour to make it stand
out more especially because the background are pink flowers.

This was originally going to be the back of the digipak, therefore I made
sure I included the essential things such as Barcode, Production logo
and a copyright for our Album cover. But then we decided to not use
this as it didn't look very professional in representing our artist and our
brand.

Final Template of Digipak

This is the final design for the digipak. The inside panels consist of the two swings and
trees which is evident in our music video. This shows a link between the digipak and music
video. The white and black colours give the digipak a warm feel. The facial expressions on
the front cover show that our artist may be paining, as we can see shes not directly
looking at the camera. Ive used the typical conventions of digipaks such as Barcode, CD
cover, all rights reserved, titles of all the songs on the back etc. Im proud with this final
product as I feel its professional and appeals to our audience.
