Plans For Digipak

Digipak Front Cover:
This was our initial idea for the front cover of the digipak. We thought it would be a nice idea to make a collage of Kate Nash in the centre and to put different objects around her as it represents her free spirit and the things she likes. We wanted to keep the background plain and simple as it makes the artist stand out more.

Digipak Back:

This is our plan for the back of our digipak. It is fairly simple, just like the front of the digipak and it involves a list of the songs in the album as well as decorations from the front of the digipak.



Digipak Centre:

We decided to carry on with the idea of simplicity for the centre of the digipak and what we did was use the front cover collage picture of Kate Nash that we did earlier on and adapt it to the actual CD. I think this is a good idea because it keeps the whole thing looking effortless and it links to the other two sides of the digipak.

A different version of our digipak cover:

Another version that we came up with for the digipak cover is using a brick backgroumd. We thought the idea was good because it links to our song title and also looks more bold and daring. The colours of the brick wall are similar to some of the objects in the picture, such as the phone, and if we decide to go with this digipak design, we can edit the colours so they dont't cancel each other out.

Digipak examples and ideas

This is a short post which is about a digipak that I have found and enjoyed very much. This digipak can help us gather ideas for our final digipak, even though our song has a different mood. What I liked about this digipak was that it shows emotions such as love and passion as well as strong female presense. This digipak heavily relies on a colour palette that primarily involves colours like orange and black. Another aspects of it include pictures that show the female artist as a strong individual, which is underlined by some of the flames we can see in the background of the sides of the digipak.

Song Permission

In order to be able to use Kate Nash's song 'Merry Happy' we sent an e-mail to Paul Epworth from 'Empire Management' hoping to let us use this song for non-profitable purposes.
Here is a screen shot of the e-mail that we sent:

Initial Plans for Album Digipak

Front cover and back covers for our album digipak:




Front cover



Back cover
























These are the flat plans that we have done to give us a brief idea of what our final digipak will look like. These will help us work towards making a good digipak as they outline the key charateristics of a digipak front and back cover and also they show the layout towards which we are aiming.

Other things that we are planning to include in our final digipak, but could not include in the flat plans are features such as a variety of colours (which will be linked to the mood of the album and the artists' personality) as well as fonts and special effects (editing) which will contribute to the digipak looking proficient.
