Individual DigiPak Design 2

When creating this digipak, I tried to use online software (Canva) rather than drawing it to get a better idea of what it would look like. I wanted to incorporate a cohesive colour palette and communicate the light-hearted and quirky energy of our band.

The Front Cover:

I used a photo from the band 'Easy Life' and manipulated it in Canva using the liquify effect to  add a quirky element to the cover. Additionally, I used 2 fonts as in the indie pop genre they often use 2 fonts on the cover of their albums. 

The Original Image

The Inside Cover:

This image is too naturalistic compared to the rest of the digipak and doesn't fit right, however, I wanted to use an image of the band to see how having handwritten names would look. Using different fonts I tried to make it seem more home-made as the genre often does and used their costumes to indicate the different colours for more visual variation. Although the image is out of place, I think it still delivers the general idea. 

The CD (Inside Cover 2):

To continue the colour palette established on the front cover of the pack, I used the baby blue background and added a unique pattern. The random 'squiggles' enhances the home-made and quirky aesthetic of the band and genre. 

Back Cover: 

In the indie pop genre, and most genres, the back panel of the digipak often plays with space and doesn't include heavy design elements. I continued the baby blue background along with 2 font styles. The first matching the front cover and the second to mimic handwriting once again. The colour of the titles are cohesive with the rest of the pack and includes the legal copyright requirements at the bottom. For this I used images from the internet of copyright examples, barcode and random British recording studios. 

This gives us a rough idea of things we can include, seeing if we prefer a different colour palette, the idea of using graphic patterns and ensuring we shoot them with more stylized poses etc. I think the home-made elements and manipulation of photos is something we can include in the real pack as it is typical of the indie pop genre, alongside the pastel colour palette. 

Life's A Beach - Easy Life

Here we see a common colour of blue throughout each of the images, with a pop of pink. There is the handwritten element on both sides of the cover, bubble writing and normal handwriting that is also mimicked in my digipak. The image underneath sees a similar effect to what I achieved on the front cover of my mock-up digipak. The images on this digipak are more cohesive than the ones I have used on mine however it gives me a good idea of what we are working towards.
