Michael Baddeley drafted several interior designs for a digipak after researching common conventions, which included lyrics booklets, advertisements, or limited edition posters. While his designs departed from the simplicity of some covers, he maintained features like a plain white background and central symbol, and felt his professional-looking designs were authentic despite differing from genres that include many artist images. He created four drafts for the interior cover.
The document discusses five drafts of inside covers created for a digipak. It notes that most digipaks contain booklets with lyrics or advertisements. While originally wanting a simple, minimalist design to match the covers, the designer decided to make the inside more substantial. Draft 5 is highlighted as departing from the simple style of the covers but still incorporating plain backgrounds and central symbols. The designs are deemed professional as they resemble those by professional designers.
This document discusses draft reasoning for a digipak side panel. The author wanted the side panel to convey that the artwork is less important than the music on the CD. Therefore, the drafts experiment with displaying either the artist or album name in small text to inform audiences while emphasizing that the information does not really matter compared to the music. The author considered a plain side panel but decided it needed some element to it.
This document appears to be drafts of a backing cover for a digipak. It contains the title "DIGIPAK BACKING COVER" and lists "DRAFTING" and "MICHAEL BADDELEY" possibly as the drafter and designer. There are draft numbers 1, 3, and 5 listed but no other information on the content of the drafts.
After creating a simplistic front cover with minimal features and a white background, the designer created backing drafts that were similarly minimalistic. Most album backings in this genre have a plain backing with the track list written in plain text or an image with the track list. To keep consistency with the front cover, the designer's drafts featured a plain background with the track list written plainly in some drafts, and also included the front cover symbol. The designer created 5 drafts that they felt were professional and authentic to professionally designed albums in this genre.
This document contains draft designs for a digipak front cover, with Michael Baddeley providing 8 draft versions and their inverted counterparts for consideration in the final design. The drafts offer different layouts and orientations as the designer works to determine the optimal visual presentation of content on the cover.
