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.
The document discusses cover art design options for a first album being released as a digipak. It considers having photos of the band on the front cover, as is common for first albums, and explores the possibility of an illustrated or graphic design as an alternative. The back cover design ideas involve either a different photo of the band or just the band logo or a rose. The album being designed is a 12-song album called "Taking Control".
The document discusses different aspects of a media product created for a hip hop artist named Yogz. It summarizes how each part (the digipak, website, and music video) both develops conventions of and draws inspiration from real hip hop media products. The digipak follows conventions like using a black color scheme but also develops them by including both light and dark imagery. The website layout draws from J. Cole's style but challenges conventions through its atypical design. The music video illustrates the song lyrics through its gritty setting but also develops the genre by including two contradictory videos in one.
- The student used a handheld camera style in their music video, taking inspiration from music videos by Alt-J and Ed Sheeran that also used this technique. Footage was filmed at night outside to emulate the original Renegades lyric video.
- For the digipack design, the student took inspiration from Ed Sheeran's "Divide" album cover using bright colors in a pop art style. A handwritten font and photo of the student's hand reinforced a casual theme.
- A consistent pop art style using the same font and vibrant colors was carried over to the magazine advert, with the student's face cut into four sections in different colors, drawing on common music promotional tactics.
The document discusses the process of designing a digipak for an album. The author decided on a drum and flames theme with bright colors based on case studies of other albums in the same genre. A drum kit was chosen as the focus of the front cover to highlight the "feature" track and tie into a music video. Consistent fonts and colors were used throughout the digipak design to create an overall theme and brand identity while not overloading the senses.
From researching existing album packaging, the author found several conventions:
1) Front covers typically feature the band/artist name and album title along with a dominant image, while back covers list the tracklist and include a band photo.
2) Inside covers sometimes include additional photos or images.
3) Spines usually contain the band/artist name, album title, and a number for manufacturing identification.
4) CDs and DVDs commonly feature images or patterns to distinguish them visually and include copyright information.

The document discusses the illustration and theme choices for a digipak album cover. It decided on recurring themes of drum flames and bright colors based on case studies of other albums in the same genre. A drum kit was chosen as the focus of the front cover to tie into a music video and suggest it is the feature track, as is commonly done. Fonts and colors were selected to be clear, dramatic, and tie all slides together cohesively in establishing the album's brand.

Maddie Le Riche created a CD cover project that went through multiple designs. The initial design featured Ellie Goulding faded into the background with glitter overlay. A second design used a casual long shot of the artist to suit an indie-pop genre. The final cover was edited in Photoshop and InDesign based on the second design, changing the genre from pop to indie-pop to match the casual photograph.
The document discusses a coursework assignment to evaluate a music production in relation to genre concepts. Specifically, it summarizes the author's creation of a CD cover called "DiscoLights" by "Hungarian Mansion Dealers", intended to represent a dance music genre. The summary explores various genre theories and how they are represented through technical elements, iconography, mise-en-scene, and characters on the CD cover. Repetition of dance music conventions and stereotypes are used to appeal to the target audience, according to the theories of Neale and others.
This document summarizes research on the design of digipak album covers. It finds that front covers typically feature the artist in the center, with the artist's name in a different font than the album title. Female artists are often depicted in a voyeuristic manner up close or in provocative poses. The back covers continue colors and fonts from the front for continuity, include song lists, and sometimes frame the artist to allow more space. Inside covers may include close-up photos of the artist and posters, along with messages from artists to their fans.
This document analyzes and summarizes the design elements of an Arctic Monkeys album cover. The cover has a simplistic, indie-inspired filter and font that hints at the album's genre and themes without revealing details. It breaks conventions by not including the band or album name, using an unrelated stock photo instead of the band, and omitting non-essential details like barcodes from the front. The minimalist design creates intrigue and sticks to a theme of simplicity.
This document analyzes and summarizes the design elements of digipaks and advertisements for several musical artists. For Chase and Status, a consistent font style and color scheme is used across the front, back, and advertisements. Janelle Monáe's album covers feature the same font style and color but different images, with synergy between the album art and a music video. Beyoncé's surprise album has no image on the black cover, only pink text, maintaining the font and color throughout to create a cohesive visual identity.
This document discusses different styles of posters used by indie bands to advertise albums and tours. It analyzes posters for several bands, including Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, Modest Mouse, and Of Montreal. The posters range from simple black and white designs that match album artwork to more animated and colorful styles. Based on the research, the author decides their poster for an indie band will take a laid back approach like Kings of Leon but include vibrant colors inspired by posters like Modest Mouse, coordinating with the style used in their music video and album packaging.
The Arctic Monkeys album cover has a simplistic design featuring a filtered indie-style photo without any identifying text or images of the band. By omitting the album name and using an unrelated photo and fonts that imply slipping away, the cover leaves the listener uncertain and surprised without following conventions of typical album artwork. It sticks to a simple, minimalist approach.
The document provides details on the development of artwork for an album digipak. It discusses influences from other artists' album covers that feature surreal cartoon-like imagery and themes of fire. A rough sketch is presented showing a drum kit as the focal point. For the back and inside covers, flames and clouds will carry through in a minimalist style. Potential fonts are selected to contrast a large stylized band name with simple bold song titles. The flame motif and band name will also be featured on the album disk to reinforce the brand style.
The document discusses the design process for Digipaks for a band's debut album. The designer researched album covers from similar bands in the same genre, including "In Love" by Peace and "Be Slowly" by Jaws. These albums featured full band shots and a dark background with one highlighted element, respectively. By adapting aspects of both covers, the designer created an album design showing the full band against a dark background to convey mystery and provide insight into the band's music.
The document provides details on the album artwork concept for a digipak. It discusses influences from bands like The Flaming Lips, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Neckdeep. A rough sketch is presented showing exaggerated surreal imagery including flames and a drum kit. For the interior, flames and clouds will cover the inside pages to tie the theme together. Fonts and a flame motif will also carry through to the back cover and disc to reinforce the brand across the full package.
Brandon Fry has created a CD cover called "DiscoLights" by "Hungarian Mansion Dealers" to evaluate in relation to music genre concepts. The cover uses stereotypical design elements of dance music genres, such as a black background with large bold grey text. While simple compared to pop albums, these design choices will appeal specifically to dance music audiences by playing on expectations of the genre through repetition of conventions. No props, settings, costumes, or characters are depicted on the cover, as is common for dance music, allowing the music to be the focus without symbolic elements that could distract from the genre.
This document discusses the process of designing a digipak for the band Rosetown. It explores various sources of inspiration, including album artwork from Oh Wonder, The 1975, Rihanna, Adele and Ariana Grande. Key aspects that were inspired include a monochrome color scheme, incorporating water reflections which were important to the music video concept, and using bold colorful fonts for the title while keeping the rest of the design monochrome. The designer synthesized these various inspirations into a draft digipak design with a black and white effect, water reflections, and the album name in baby pink with the band name in white.
The document discusses conventions in indie music videos and how the author both followed and challenged conventions in their own music video. Some conventions discussed include bands wearing casual clothing, using minimal props, incorporating various camera angles and editing techniques like thought beats. The author also discusses how they incorporated conventions but added their own flair, like using bright colors. They summarize how they approached elements like the digipak, poster, and website design in a way that both referenced conventions and added their own personality.
The student designed media products for an acoustic artist that used conventions from real acoustic albums while also challenging some conventions.
The front cover featured the artist holding a guitar to indicate the genre, mimicking real albums. Inside, lyrics were on the left page facing an image of the smiling artist, challenging the straight-faced convention.
Throughout the CD design, the student used consistent fonts, wooden backgrounds, and rural settings found in research on artists like James Blunt and Ed Sheeran, maintaining continuity across products as per conventions. However, an "old" CD design challenged the use of graphics found in research.
The document describes the design choices made for several graphic design projects:
- A music flyer for artist Jessi featuring a black, blue, and pink color scheme to match her hip-hop style and label's logo.
- A poster for an art exhibit featuring triangular shapes and the title "Onion Skin" in red and black colors to represent the exhibit.
- A double page spread for a K-pop band's new album incorporating the pink and blue colors and camouflage pattern from the album artwork.
- A broadsheet newspaper page about David Bowie's death inspired by another publication, with Bowie's name and age in red in the headline and his photo and final album cover on the
The document discusses ideas for designing a digipak for the artist Mr. Probz based on research of his previous album covers and style. It suggests making the digipak urban-focused to reflect his hip hop music. Rather than using footage from a music video, it should feature photos of Mr. Probz working in the studio and an informal song list to portray his passion for music. The front cover should have an unrealistic collage-style image like his previous albums, while the back could include the informal song list.

It suggests making the digipak urban-focused to reflect his hip hop music. Rather than using footage from a music video, it should feature photos of Mr. Probz working in the studio and portray his passion for music. Song titles could look handwritten to seem passionate. The front cover may use layered images rather than photos to match conventions from his past unrealistic album covers.
The document discusses the conventions used in designing an acoustic music CD and how the designer incorporated or challenged these conventions. The designer researched other acoustic artists like James Blunt, Ed Sheeran, and James Morrison to inform their design choices. Some conventions used included featuring the artist holding an instrument on the cover, using a typewriter font style consistently, and including the artist in a rural setting with a neutral or no expression. The designer challenged some conventions by making the CD design look old rather than using modern graphics, and having the artist smile slightly rather than no expression.
The document provides feedback on a music video project for an indie pop band. It praises the song choices, narrative ideas, locations, and timeline. However, it cautions that the project risks looking more like a pop video than indie and recommends finding a balance of pop and indie elements. It also provides suggestions to get permission for public locations, film test shots, and incorporate references to the band's musical idols through clothing, instruments, and poses.
The document describes the design process for a digipak album cover. Key elements include:
- Using colors and background from the band's website for branding recognition.
- Placing the band name and album title prominently on the front cover.
- Including an image of the band with their instruments to identify their genre as rock.
- Providing track listings, tour dates, lyrics and a band message inside the digipak for fan engagement.
- Maintaining a consistent color scheme and style throughout to create a coherent design.
The document discusses several theories of narrative structure and techniques used in music videos:
1) Todorov and Propp's theories identify common stages and character roles in narratives, such as establishing equilibrium, disrupting it, then attempting to restore order.
2) Levi-Strauss saw narratives as organized around binary opposites like good vs evil.
3) Vernallis and Goodwin analyzed how music videos use techniques like genre characteristics, relationships between lyrics/music and visuals, and intertextual references.
4) Goodwin also noted demands for close-ups of artists and focus on the female body.
This document contains storyboards for a music video. The storyboards were created by Hannah Tapscott and lay out the visual plan for how the music video will be filmed. The storyboards will help guide the filming of the music video to bring the artist's creative vision to life on screen.

The goal is to build a connection between the artist and audience through the visuals and track list descriptions.
The document discusses how the designer challenged several conventions in designing a digipak album cover and packaging. The designer used a medium shot of the artist instead of a close up, placed the artist's name vertically rather than horizontally on the front cover, made the album title eye-catching rather than small, used a green color scheme rather than monotone related to the artist's ethnicity, included a barcode and record label for genre identification, featured a happy expressive image rather than the artist's instrument in the lyric book, and included a nature image on the CD tray rather than a setting or instrument to convey the theme of the music.
The document discusses how the media product, a digipack and website for a musical artist, draws from conventions of real music packaging and promotion. Specifically:
- The digipack follows conventions like consistent theme/colors, photo of the artist, and tracklist/copyright info. Inspiration was drawn from albums by Rihanna, Drake, Estelle, and Brandy.
- The website includes a mailing list for updates, prominently promotes the artist's latest album similarly to Jessie J and Adele, and lists tour dates using Songkick like Jess Glynn's website.
- Conventions from real artists were translated and applied to create a professional-looking digipack and website while promoting
The document discusses conventions for music album covers and digipak designs based on examples. Some key conventions highlighted include using a close-up of the artist's face dominating most of the cover, including only the artist's name and song title with little other text, and maintaining a consistent color theme throughout the design. The document also examines specific album covers, noting design elements like lighting, font styles, image positioning, and how they appeal to audiences. Templates and ideas for creating an original digipak are discussed at the end.
Drafts of Ancillary 1 and 2 (Magazine Advert and Digipak)NehaR95
The document describes the process of creating ancillary products to promote a fictional album. It discusses drafting a magazine advertisement with feedback that led to adding floral framing and reviews. Two versions were made - portrait and landscape. It also covers designing the front and inside of a digipak cover, including images of the artist, notes, and continuity across products to represent the album's whimsical theme. The back cover layout includes a non-conventional track listing and additional images and elements to tie the design together cohesively.
The document discusses the design process for a digipak for a hip hop album. It aimed to follow conventions of existing digipaks through research. Conventions followed include using the artist name, album name, tracklist, parental advisory sign, barcodes, and record label logos. Color schemes and fonts are consistent across the front, back, spine and disc to create cohesion. Some conventions were broken such as adding age ratings, but overall it strives to appear like a professionally designed real product.
The document discusses the design of a digipak for an album. The author aimed to follow conventions to make the product look professional, while also challenging some conventions through their design choices. They summarize how each element of the digipak (front cover, back cover, spine, discs, etc.) follows or challenges typical conventions. Research into other album designs helped influence their choices. Overall, the author believes their digipak successfully follows conventions of cohesion and style appropriate for the indie music genre.
This digipak design is for an unsigned artist named Carly Jones. The front cover features Carly's photo with the album title "Reason to Smile", which is also the title of one of her songs and the music video produced for her. The back contains the track list in black and white. Inside spreads contain additional photos of Carly to connect the viewer to the artist and music throughout opening the digipak. Colors and design elements were chosen to tie the front and back covers together cohesively.
This document discusses and analyzes different digipak album designs. It summarizes the design elements of three digipaks, including their color schemes, imagery used, and information included. Common themes across the digipaks are warm colors that relate to the music genres, close-up artist photos, prominent display of song titles and production details. The document suggests these designs provide ideas for presenting information consistently and relating the visuals to the artist/album concepts.
Digipak – used, developed and challenged conventionsSian Ginger
The document discusses how the digipak design used, developed, and challenged conventions. It used an eye-level shot of the artist to draw the audience in.

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.
