Digipak Mock Up:
Attached below is a handrawn mock design of the digipak my partner and I would like to create. In doing this task we were able to visulise and compile our ideas together as well as having a clear and consice plan when we come to producing our digipak through Photoshop and Indesign, which will help my partner and I to stay organised and keep on track with this task. Below we have included the types of images we would like to use, as well as different fonts and a brief colour palette.
When we began to produce our mockup, we looked at a variety of different album covers within our genre to help inspire us for our own designs, with no intention of copying these sources as we need our digipak to be our own original work. During the designing process of our mockup it was crucial that we thought about the key techinical conventions of a CD album cover and layout within the genre of pop, this included features such as bold text, brighter colours, digital design aspects, our cover star and song titles which will help our audience to accept the text that we produce.
Our Front Cover will consist of our artist, her name and the album name, “Faces in the crowd”. We aim to feature our artist in the centre of the cover as a direct mode of address towards our audience, as well as the album title at the top of the cover in a bold font which will allow it to stand out from the background. We will compile these features together with a bright, coulourful palette allowing us to express an energetic, unique artist while following the repetoire of elements best suited to the typical conventions of our genre. During our shoot we intend on using a projector in the white studio to project different patterns and colours onto our model to help infer and convey our different and unique star image.
Our Back Cover will again include our artist, however for this shot it will be taken from further away to allow us to include a prop TV. As well as using imagery, my partner and I also intend on including digital design within the back cover as well, this will be featured through the use of the TV screen as we plan on creatign a crowd of faceless people to refer to the name of our album. We plan on having our star leaning against the TV in a relaxed, laidback way whilst projecting a design over her, this will also help us to convey our ideal star image. The back cover will also include our song titles down the left handside so that our model is still fully visable.
The Inside covers will be made up of a colour full background image which we intend on designing ourselves taking inspiration from the image attached below. From this image we intend, on using a similar colour palette as well across both sides of the inside cover to create continuity. However the first page of the inside will also include an extreme close up image of an eye to help convey a sense of emotion within our designs.
