Below is the second draft of the Digipak:
What has changed?
- We have added the masthead and the name of our Star Image to our front cover.
- We have created a yellow boarder to the front cover as to allow the Digipak to feel more fleshed out.
- We have added the inside covers, first one is a distorted image of the protagonist from out music video, the second being a fate recreation of the cage inside the person’s head, with a wingspan similar to the phoenix. This is where the CD itself will be placed.
- We have removed the white colouring from the Phoenix, this feels much better, and allows the colours to be much more effective.
What’s Next:
- We are currently unsatisfied with the colour/ font of the masthead, so we will explore more options for Draft 3.
- We must add the song list to the back cover, we are planning to place this down the phoenix’s wingspan.
- Another addition to the back cover includes information on how proceeds from the Digipak will be going to a charity called ‘Green Peace’.
- Other additions to the back cover includes the record label logo, a barcode and copyright information.
Reflection:
I feel this second draft has changed the game from the first draft, the digipak already feels much more fleshed out and closer to completion. The back cover feels much more striking and in fitting with the conventions of EDM has used bright neon lighting. For the masthead we have curved the text to fit around the kaleidoscope pattern, this feels striking and I am confident with this effect. I feel our InDesign and Photoshop abilities are becoming more and more refined as we reach our third draft.
