Ideas from real digipaksElliotSmith-

This concept was used to show off the skate boarding effect

that we had found out related to indie genre music. We

used this style for our back cover

Jeremy Warmsley having a close up of the artist can be

beneficial in a good way, because audiences may recognise

the artist and straight away be attracted to the digipak to

find out more. Also using the face makes it more noticeable

for audiences.

Kurt Vile this digipak has excellent use of animations and

effects. Looking at the digipak we thought having this would

definitely be unique and natural with the setting so this

could be another factor we chose to take in to consideration

Flipped the

other way

round

The main changes we made were that the outside panels were made to look

cartoonish, following the theme of Kurt Ville and we thought this defiantly looked eye

catching and effective. Another change we had made is that we flipped the photo in

the top right hand corner to see how it would look from another perspective and

found out it looked very good!

At this stage we implanted out horizontal and vertical black line strips. This was the

thing side panel on the top of the digipak were the name of the album would go along

side the name of the artist. In the end we decided to take of the horizontal line as we

believe it looked better without as it was too thin anyway to be seen.

We were nearing to the end of our digipak

and we were having second opinions about

the digipak. A couple of people from our

media class thought the front and back cover

were good if they were like on the inside or

some extra features. So we had to scrap that

idea anddecided to keep it plain and simple.We had gone back to the starting point and

only added a few extra changes.

Final Digipak

Changes to the front

Front There were no major changes made to

our digipak apart from adding the artist name

and album name. We decided to go with the

The Kooks font as we thought it was bold

and would stand out to people when put no

the shelf at hmv, music stores. Also we looked

into using the The fretelis font for the albumname as it was simple and nothing

complicated and just set the tone right.


9/11

Changes to the back

The light located above the artist skate

boarding near the staircase has been given an

extra glow effect. This gives picture something

eye catching about it again.

We also added the barcode, the record label

logo and the rights at the bottom of the cover.

We chose the colour yellow to represent our

song names as it was simply easier to read.


10/11

Changes to the CD case

Here we thought what we coulddo is just ad some

random colour to fill up the space. Sitting down we

had an idea as we had a great print screen from our

video of the main artist skateboarding anddecidedto implant this into our digipak.
