Here is a presentation about planning my digipak and looking at my inspirations and influences. I looked at the digital booklets from artists such as Ariana Grande, Carly Rae Jepson, Ellie Goulding, Selena Gomez and Marina and The Diamonds.
2. First draft – Initial Ideas
This was my first initial idea of how I wanted my digipak to look. I decided to use 4
shots of the artist and mainly use close up or mid shots, this is because most pop
albums have that amount of photos of the artist with the same shot types.
3. Final draft of my digipak
This is my second idea and final draft of what my digipak is going to look like. I decided to
use colours to make it more realistic and visible as to what I wanted. I decided to only use 3
photos of the artist after looking at more digipaks for ideas. I kept with one main colour
scheme throughout which will be pink.
4. How and where I got my inspiration for my digipak
I looked at album covers and noticed
that the artist name is often in a large
font on the front of the album cover
along with a close up or mid shot of the
artist. It is very rare for a album cover to
use a long shot of the artist.
I looked at song title listings and noticed
they were always on the back. I also
noticed that they were mostly very
simple and kept to the colour scheme
with the song titles written down the
middle of the page.
I noticed that a lot of digipaks have
plain pages with a mid shot of the
artist on without any wording. I
decided to add a border to mine to
make it a little more interesting
throughout.
5. How and where I got my inspiration for my digipak
I decided to put a close up of the
artist in a Polaroid picture frame as
I was inspired by Carly Rae Jepson’s
digipak and thought it was very
interesting.
I looked at different CD discs from
artist and noticed that they were
mostly a plain colour (keeping with
the colour scheme of the album)
and with the name of the artist and
title on the front.
I looked at the acknowledgements
page of the digipak and noticed
that they were all displayed in
different ways. I decided to
combine these ideas by writing
them in a section of the page.
