Digipak Mock Analysis

 

This is the layout I will be having for my digipak, iw ill fold out to reveal the cd in the middle abnd on the left side a pocket with a booklet and on the right a pocket with an conus cd. The right side will fold in to have an image of the artist and the let side will fold ovr the top to have the front cover.

This is a possible cd cover, I like the angelic loog of the artist and how he seems very calm and relaxed, almost cotnent. The backgroun is blurred out so he is more in focus, the font is bold so it stands out. I don't think the dark blue woks as it isnt very noticeable and his font is too jaggered to look professional.

This also another possionle front cover, the artist name is in bold whit and the album name smaller underneath and not in bold, I dont think their is enough emphasis on the album name. Also again the font is jaggered and looks unproffesional. I like the image I think it draws attention but for a new and upincoming artist he needs himself on the cove to become more recognisable.

I really like this album cove, I think that the colous stand out and the fonts, I added a white graident to the top of the picture so the white stood out more but again I dont think the artist stands out enough, it needs to be more recognislable.

I lik this album cove idea and I have added a lense flare to the image to mak it look warmer and more interesting, I hav also chang the font so it looks more proffesianl and suits the artist.

 

This is my final album cover. I have added a white border so the eye is drawn into the centre, the lense flare effect adds warmth and interest. Th artist expression makes him look angelic but his beard. untmaed hair make him look rugged. He is dressed in the same jumper he has worn in the music video, this wa a casual outfit bcaue he is not the kind of artist that cars about apprenace, the focus is on his music. The font I have used looks more proffesinal and eye catching for the artist name I have done it in a dark blue font to match his jumping so their is a runnign colour theme. The album name at the bottom of the page is in the same font but in white so it stands out against his jumper and I have made it slightly smaller so it can be seen more clearly loosk more proffesinal and is more recongisable. I really like this albumc cove I think i relfects th genre and the intentions of the artist when h wrote this album,.

 

 

 

 

me:out of the three images which would you say the text looks better smaller or bigger?

peer: bigger

me: okay, do you think the text looks better in te middle or on the left hand side?

peer: definately on the left because you have the artist on the other side.

me: is their aything you would change?

peer: not really, it looks good.

 

 

 

 

 

my digipak still needs changes such as the back image.
