In lesson we was asked to create a first draft for our digipak design. This is what I drew up in the lesson. The idea is to have an image of all four members on the main cover so the audience is aware of it being a band, not a solo artist. We was just going to have the lead on the cover but changed it for that reason. However, inside and the back of the digipak will have a single image of the artist with a light overlaid onto the image. On the back cover we are going to place the drummer's face with the track list overlaying it. Then on the inside left a single image of the lead singer and then the two guitarists will be on the inside right. The centre of the digipak will just have the CD. In the right fold we decided to add a bonus live CD in because it is the band's first album. On the front of the wallet holding the CD there is also a free download link to get the album online / onto iTunes.
We then created the digipak idea onto Photoshop. I got a template of 6 squares and recreated the drawing I made in my notepad.
- Top left: Inside left
- Top middle: Centre
- Top right: Inside right
- Bottom left: the right/left fold
- Bottom middle: Back cover
- Bottom right: Front Cover
I realised once finishing that I have positioned the plan awkwardly on Photoshop. Since doing it on photoshop me and Liam decided to change the front cover to a split image of the four band members on one face / body similar to the Kings Of Leon - Only by the night. I used images of silhouettes to show the positioning of images once we have them as this is only a plan. On the back cover I left the text box empty which is meant to contain the track list as I wanted to show the image behind the box was one of the four band members.
