Final Digipak Designs

I have created two main ideas for the final design of my digipak. I will use one of

these ideas, or collaborate them together for my final casing. A few images are

used on both digipak designs; the front and back images fit perfectly to their

positions and as a result, I wish for them to be used as those faces.

Design 1

Inside:

Front cover: Back Cover: Inside fold:

This digipak design has six faces; the case folds open to reveal the CD on the

middle face, between the two images of closed and open hands. The pattern on

the CD will be the same image as the one on the middle face of which is the image

without including any hands.

The front and back cover will be the same on both of the digipaks I have edited

the images using my main focus of making the colours of the paint as vibrant as

possible. I brightened the background in order to create a cleaner image, as well

as emphasising the colours marking the wall. I also selected just the paint,

playing around with the vibrancy and contrast on Photoshop to try and create as

eye catching an image as possible. The vibrancy of the paint also fits well with

the brightness of the background, drawing the audiences attention to the

foreground.

A black boarder will surround each face on the digipak; The Black Keys inspired

me to do this as the result was very effective on one of their album covers. The

boarder will be thin in order to draw attention to the main image in the

foreground. The images are also quite complicated, and so by having a simpleboarder, it eliminates complicating the photographs on the digipak.

Idea 2

Inside:

Front cover: Back cover:

This digipak design is smaller than the other; it only has four faces instead of six.

All the images used in this digipak can also be found in the last digipak design

idea re-arranged to create a simpler design. By creating a smaller digipak, theaudience then concentrates on the quality of the few images I have used, instead

of the quantity.

I have also removed the black boarder from all the faces on the digipak. This

could create a cleaner, simpler digipak. Although I have decided to keep a black

separator between the two inside faces; this emphasises that the images are two

separate photographs. This will also be where the hinge of the case would be, by

creating a black hinge between the photographs, they will not have to be folded

or misshapen in order to become a hinge itself.

I have used the same editing methods as I have in the first digipak design. I

focused on creating a clean, bright background on which the vibrant paint can

become extremely effective to the audiences eye. Yet, I made sure that I kept a

corner of the image shadowed in order to be able for me to create a white

coloured title on which it could sit.

The CD itself will be placed on the right hand face inside the digipak. The

pattered image on the inside right face will also be used for the detail on the CD.

By doing this, the CD matches into the casing and creates a relation between the

disk and case. The audience will know that the disk belongs to that album,

creating a stronger artist/album identity.
