Digipak Front Cover: Within the front cover it is important we have a large masthead, we have decided on naming our album ‘Kaleidoscope’, we are also going to be incorporating this into the design of our front cover, including kaleidoscope patterns throughout the colour scheme due to the similar nature of the EDM genre. We have also decided not to use the star image within our front cover as we wish to communicate the importance of the art over the artist within out genre. We also plan to have the cover mostly hand drawn. The centre piece of our digipak front and back cover will be a bird in order to symbolise freedom. At first we thought of a hummingbird before deciding on a phoenix due to its affiliation and symbolism for enlightenment, the theme of our album and in particularly the nature of being set free communicated within our music video.
Digipak Back Cover: We have decided that we will have the usual conventions of a Digipak such as the barcode, copyright information, record label logo etc. We have also decided to carry the phoenix over to the back cover, as wall as the kaleidoscope pattern and colour scheme.
Reflection
I personally am very happy with the mockups that have been created for our Digipak, I feel the use of Kalideoscope patterns and colour scheme will mean that it really catches the eye and represents the genre of EDM. The hand-drawn aesthetic of the piece I believe will also make in unique whilst fitting in with EDM conventions.
