- After considering how genre is reflected in the design of a Digipak, you will now have to create your own individual padlet moodboard to collate ideas for your Digipak cover.
Remember you are creating an album cover for the band/performer – not just the song you have done your music video for, although this will feature in the song list.
You should consider all of the following and find images, ideas to illustrate the feel of the Digipak design.
- Images – MES, locations, characters, designs, graphics, illustrations, photos etc
- Typefaces
- Colour Schemes
- Inspirational Digipacks – something similar?
- Logos
- Copy Ideas – text etc.
REREAD YOUR MISSION STATEMENT – THE BOARD SHOULD REFLECT THAT USP, THEIR VIBE, THEIR BRAND.
LOOK AROUND FOR INSPIRATION – DON’T JUST GOOGLE! and add in BUZZ words for a busy, brainstorm of exciting ideas – you can annotate directly onto the board or once you have taken a photo of it for inclusion in your blog, you can annotate in indesign or photoshop.
