PRODUCT - Digipak

Final Digipak

These are screenshots of my final digipak

Front Cover
This is my final front cover. I have added a picture of the model and on iMovie I followed the same green screen technique to get the blue visualiser background. This follows the psychedelic theme running throughout the whole brand. I used a colour match for the album name to give continuity between the background and the album name. I added a drop shadow to both of the typographies to make it more bold and stand out against the background. In indie music the line beneath the band name seems to be conventional. Bands that use this are FoalsMuse and Mass Gothic. These are inspirations in terms of my digipak.

Inside Cover
This is the inside cover of my digipak. I thought that this would be a nice effect as it seems to be the same photo. This is not the same photo but I wanted to show that I have multiple photos. I was going to add the psychedelic effect but I thought that this would be overpowering. The brand identity is followed through the model being the same and her hair being unique and noticeable.

Inside Right Cover
The inside right cover will be behind the CD itself. I followed the brand identity through using the psychedelic visuals and also the same typography from the front cover. I copied and pasted it from one Photoshop page to another one. Around the outside I have written the main copyright and other bits that are conventional in digipaks.

Back Cover
The back cover is slightly larger than the other dimensions as it has to fit into the back cover of the jewel case. Also I have the spines on both sides of the cover. This is conventional in digipaks because of when on a shelf it is easy to spot and chose which album it is. I have copied the title directly from the front cover to follow the brand identity and in-house theme. The background is a screenshot from the iTunes visualiser. I have made up 10 song names which is average for an indie band because there is not too many songs that it is overpowering but there is enough so that it does not look to minimal and bare. I added a barcode and copyright text and the record label to follow conventions for a back cover on a digipak.

Digipak in Jewel Case

The below photos are of the digipak in the physical jewel case. The reason I have included this is to show the proportions and to prove that it fits perfectly into the case. It also gives my product a professional look because it is not just screenshots of the finished product.
