In the top left I have my front cover, top right is my inside left cover, bottom left is my inside right cover and my back cover is in the bottom right.
After doing research on what are conventional and essential elements of my digipak with my chosen genre, I have created a mockup on paper of my original ideas that I have been developing using the conventions of an indie pop digipak.
Front cover
Due to the album name ‘Every Blue Moon’ I decided to have a big edited moon in the centre of my front cover with the star image reflecting onto the moon with a silhouette of the artists. Due to me having a band playing I chose the lead singer of the band to have on my front cover. Due to the genre indie pop it is important for me to tie in both repertoire of elements of each genre. For example tying in my artists on the front cover which is traditionally pop as well as tying in some artwork which is more indie. The colours I will be using are primarily blue and pink mixes of neon and light tones.
Inside Left:
On my inside left cover I have the constant throughout the blue moon however only in the top right corner of this side. I have included the instruments which are common among indie bands ideas. I am going to incorporate more artwork into the inside left cover, however not sure how at this stage.
Inside right:
This is where the CD of the album will sit on the CD I have printed onto it the band name and the album anime across the centre. A city which will be more animated then images of a city. The common theme of the moon appears due to the album name. The colours I am using on this page are darker, black and grey on the CD as well as the band with the album and bands name being bright pink to stand out.
Back cover:
Using the conventional elements of a back cover of an album digipak. I have the same design of the moon being the focus, however the moon being more faded and not as prominent towards the bottom of the image as this is where my band’s faces are going to be. The colours for this sector of the digipak are blues oranges and cool tones for the back of the digipak. The songs on the back include:
- Blue Moon
- Best Day Of My Life
- Melody
- Diamond
- Believer
- Hit It
- Pride
- Go Big Or Go Home
- Brightest Star
- Luck
- Angel
- What We Live For
Colour Swatches:
These are the colours I would like to use in my Digipak.
