The document discusses initial ideas for a digipak album cover. It proposes using a simple single image design inspired by other album covers in the same genre. Handwritten or cursive fonts are suggested to make the cover look more homemade and urban. Specific ideas include merging the album and band names into a photograph of a milk bottle or water bottle label, or a black and white photograph with white lines. The genre is best represented by simple designs using black, white, bright pastel, or primary colors.

1. Digipak Initial Ideas

2. Initial Ideas
After researching into other album artwork from the
same genre there was a concept that really stuck out
for me. Simplicity. I liked that rather than having lots
going on within the front cover and making it look
busy, by having one stand out image it was a lot
more effective. I want to use this aspect of simplicity
within my album cover as I believe that the song I
chose is very simple and pulled back therefore the
cover would tie in nicely with the song.

3. Fonts
I like the use of cursive and
hand written text as it makes
the album cover look a lot
more homemade and urban.
By using this rather than
something like a serif font the
album will look more inviting
to an audience.

5. When creating my ideas for my digipak I considered the different album
covers I had looked at in the past. I thought the use of simple lines and
designs worked best with my genre, and keeping colours either black
and white, having bright yet pastel colours or primary colours would be
the most aesthetically pleasing. I didn’t believe showing the people
within the music video would fit as they’re not shown as ‘The band’
which may have worked. However, as they are just characters I don’t
believe they are needed to be featured on the digipak.
The two photographed images (bottle and t-shirt) I wanted to merge
the album name and band name into the image to make it more fluid
and make it seem more urban and grunge.
