Here is the third draft of my digipack that has been printed out and put into a physical CD case.
I got a good amount of compliments on my digipack but I still had some improvements to make, such as making the 3 monks and the burning bike be on opposite side and making the monks shoes stand out a bit more
Here is the teacher’s screen-castify feedback on my digipack. Summarization:
Most of what Mrs.Cobb said was compliments and saying other good things about it, the only other stuff she mentioned was she wanted me to confirm that the desert picture was mine, resize the images, move some text, add in the barcode, and copyright text.

Back
Down below is my first draft for my digipack, it features 2 digitally illustrated characters standing in front of a graffitied train with the band name (MITOSIS) and the album name (Cell Splitter).
Then there is the back of my digipack, since it is a rough cut there is no barcode or copyright stuff on there but it does have the names of the 10 songs on the album.
Targets for improvements:
- Add Barcode
- Add copyright text
- Move song names from 6-10 to the right side of the image
Here is a brief sum-up of the process of making the album cover
First I began finding the fonts on Dafont.com and once I decided on then I chose the spot that I thought looked best.
next was to implement the first character which I sketched on paper beforehand then brought the sketch onto the computer to then trace over using my drawing tablet on photoshop. after drawing the character I then chose a color palette that I like and that would fit some of the songs that my band would sing.
I repeated the same process I did for the Previous character, I just changed its color palette.
After finishing the character designs I made some slight adjustments to the exposure and vibrance of the train in the background and slightly edited the text a bit so there’s now the word “presents” and some quotation marks, I took these minor design choices from Thundercats album Drunk.
Here are some character designs that I made for the front cover of my digipack, I’m planning to use photoshop and draw these into the image to have a unique style and colorful look to my album cover.
Here is the image I took while waiting at the train station, amazingly there was a really great and aesthetic-looking piece of Graffiti on the side of it which I thought would make an amazing album cover.
Here we have some Sketches/designs for my Digipack Mockup. This will be for the front, back, and inside of a CD case. A conventional cd/album case we studied in a previous post has to have a few conventions such as the albums title, barcode, band name, and the songs on the back
I’m not entirely sure if ill stick with this idea but ill have to see how it goes.
also here is a color palette that I was thinking of using
