The document outlines plans for a mock digipak design using found images as inspiration. It includes analyses of potential front, middle, and back cover images that depict a model in a black dress at a train station to match the theme of "Alone at the Station". Close-up portrait shots and images of the model in an autumn forest are also considered for the middle slides. The back cover image would show the model from behind at the train station. Song titles and labeling would be included in a simple white font for continuity across the design.

1. Digipak model

2. The purpose
• I have decided to create a mock up of my hand drawn digipak
using images from the internet. This way, I can start to
visualise what the finished product will look like and I will
also gain inspiration for when I complete my photography.
• Obviously, it was difficult to find images at a train station
which are the same to what I would like to produce so I have
tried to find some which are similar.

3. The front cover
ALONE AT THE STATION
CATFISH AND THE BOTTLEMAN

4. The front cover analysis
ALONE AT THE STATION
CATFISH AND THE BOTTLEMAN
I chose this image
because it was
closest to what I
envisioned. I would
like my model to be
in a long black dress
Instead of the forest
in the background, I
would like to have
the train station
platform as a
backdrop.
I chose a white sans
serif font called
‘Courier New’. I
chose white because
this stands out
against the dark
colouring of the
background.
For my image, I
originally wanted
my model to be
stood slightly off-
centre to the right.
However, I think I
will take an image of
my model stood in
the centre as I think
this looks nice with
how I have
positioned the text.
Here, I have added a
paternal advisory
label. This is due to
the nature of our
song and also I
imagine some of the
lyrics may be explicit
if I was to create a
full album.

5. First middle slide

6. First middle slide analysis
This is the exact
location I would like
to use for the first
image of the digipak.
Here, I can be seen
mimicking what I
would like my model
to do; be facing
forward with her
face tilted slightly
down to portray the
emotion of feeling
alone.
This photo was
taken in summer,
and so the pathway
behind will be more
autumnal to fit my
theme.
Obviously, my model
will be more dressed
up than I was, in her
black dress.
I think I will position
my model to the
right hand side to
make the photo look
more arty and better
on the eye.

7. Second middle slide

8. Second middle slide analysis
This image was
pretty much the
same as the
photograph I would
like to create. I really
like how she is lying
on the ground in
water as this makes
her appear
vulnerable,
mirroring the title
‘Alone at the
Station’.
For my own image,
my model will wear a
black dress but with
red lipstick. I think
this is a really
feminine look which
photographs well.
I chose this image
because it was
closest to what I
envisioned. I would
like my model to be
in a long black
dress.
Her expression looks
as though she is
sleeping which
would represent how
being alone makes
you want to block
everything out.
Instead of water, I
would like to use
autumnal leaves for
my model to lie on.

9. Third Middle Slide

10. Third Middle Slide analysis
I really like how this
image is in a forest,
and this is
something I have
planned to have as a
theme throughout
the middle slides,
right by some train
tracks. I think it
creates an eerie,
mysterious feel to
the photo.
I really like how this
is a full length shot
as more of the
backdrop can be
shown as well as the
beautiful dress. I
think this would be
really effective as a
middle part to the
digipak.
Again, my model
will be wearing a
black dress and so
my background may
need to be slightly
brighter, featuring
orange and yellow
autumnal tones for t
the dress to contrast
against.
I really like how the
model is positioned
in the centre of the
image, which I
something I plan to
do.
The way she is stood
makes her look as
though she is looking
for something, again
fitting my album title.

11. Fourth Middle Slide

12. Fourth Middle Slide
I really wanted to include
some close up portrait
shots. I think when shot
well, these photos can look
beautiful as middle slides
in a digipak.
The purple heather in the
background of this photo
looks beautiful, as the
model is the part of the
photograph in focus.
If I can use an autumnal
background for my
images, the black dress
and dark hair o f my
model with contrast really
nicely.

13. Back slide
Anything
Everything
Only One
Alone
Fly
Oblivious
New Lover
Small World
Blonde Love
Nothing

14. Back slide analysis
The back slide of my
digipak will be in the same
location as the cover photo
at a train station, but this
time she will have her back
to camera. I came up with
this idea because the front
is an opening and the
back a closure, so it’s
almost metaphorical.
The titles of the songs are
in the same white sans
serif font as the front
cover. This shows
continuity throughout the
album and I also plan to
use this font for my
magazine advert too. I like
this font because it is
simple and doesn’t
distract away from the
photograph.
I really like the stance of
the model here, as her
back is mainly facing
away from the camera,
however she is looking to
the side. I think this
captures a beautiful shot.
In the bottom left hand
corner, I have included a
barcode to enable the
consumer to purchase the
product, and a record
label to show who the
artist are with. Here, I will
create my own record label
logo and insert it for the
actual digipak that I
create.

15. CD Design
CATFISH AND THE BOTTLEMAN
ALONE AT THE STATION
Here is the design of the
CD. I have opted for a very
simplistic idea because the
photos will be the main
focus point. I would like
the CD to be plain black.
I have also decided to use
the same white sans serif
font as seen on the front
and back cover of the
digipak. I think the reverse
background works really
well and the disk portrays
all the information
needed.
