PLANNING: Digipak Draft (Front cover)



This is the draft 3 panel cover of my Digipak for our artist 'Prototype'

Let's start with the font:

I have chosen the 'Vermin Vibes 2' font for the 'Prototype' Font. I have chosen this font because our artists is modelled from 'example' who is wikipedia defined as a pop-dance/electronic artist. This font has a very futuristic, tech look and can be instantly identified to the dance/electronic genre. However, because this is such a bold and identifiable font, I chose a basic curved font 'Century Gothic' as to not take away from the other font and give it an organised look. I think two big clashing font would look messy especially for a new artist it's not attractive.

As a group, we decided to go with a colour scheme of Black, white and dark purple(to go with the colour scheme of the music video). We also decided (after Dan suggested it) to have the 'ying/yang' symbol as his recognisable thing. It also features in the music video.
Therefore, when we took the photos we made sure to use black t-shirt/white background & vice versa.

I decided not to use a photo for the tracklist background as I felt it would be too much as it is a 3 panel cover it would mean there would be 5 pictures(excluding the cd) of him on the album- a feature that wasn't apparent in my online research and my own Cd's that I own. Usually pictures are in a pull-out booklet which I may feature on the inside

I also added the ying/yang symbol in the album font, replacing the 'O'.

I made a sticker area as I wanted the album to be a 2-disc remix special with extra features to draw in the audience.

I personally like the digipak, I feel it is a good representation of the artist and links in to our music video. I have missed out a few details in the credits that I will add in in the final version.
