In the past week i have been thinking a bit more about my plans for the digipak i will need to create for our band. I thought i'd take a look at some of the different designs of them to get a nice idea on which ones i think work well and maybe get some ideas on how to present mine.
On the right is a typical example of a digipak as it has the actual CD on one fold out, the list of songs on another and a book containing either information about the artist or lyrics to the songs on the final side. The front cover is quite a striking image of the artist himself and is kept quite simple with just this picture and the title and a tribal type design next to it. The rest of the digipak is consistent with this as the colour scheme remains quite dark with black, browns and white mainly which indicates that the type of music will be a bit dark in itself and is unlikely to be very upbeat, happy songs.
This digipak only folds out the once, much like a normal CD however it still has the CD and a booklet inside, with the list of songs on the back. I looked at this one because if the interesting, yet simple image on the front. This is also a good example of showing why the programme i am likely to use will be photoshop because it enables you to create images like this by getting two seperate ones and editing them together to create a lovely image like this one. It's mainly effective because of the contrast between the girl being in black and white and staring into a jar filled with colour and a sunset by the sea which i think represents a sense of wanting to get away from everything. With this in mind i get the idea that the type of music would be quite calming and relaxing. The colour theme has again been consistent throughout.
