Digipak Draft 1

When it came to creating our first draft for the digipak, we decided to change direction for the style, and keep the convention of having art instead of a photo of the band, but a more serious style. In keeping with this, we changed some of the song names from the slightly whimsical “laundry” theme to more serious titles.

We do not have any photos for the digipak yet. This will come in our second draft.

The bass neck and drumsticks symbolise the two instruments used by the duo. The smashed light bulb links to the title “Lights Out”. The smoke on the back creates a sense of danger and revolution.

The two fonts work well, “bad grunge” is used for the title and song names and fit the feel of the album, “true lies” is used for the band name and logo, which matches the brand. Both fonts fit the genre well. The colour scheme also works well, with only four colours all working well with each other and fitting the genre.

Our targets for improvements are as follows:

• Add copyright information to the back pane
• Add a photo to the background of the back pane
• Add the two inside panes (probably a photo for the front and simplistic art for the back as it will normally be obscured by the CD)
