5. Taking a published digipak - photoshop

I chose Rihannas digipak for her album 'Loud', and copied as well as I could on photoshop.


Here is the original digipak.



Here is a screenshot of me working on my version of the digipak on photoshop.



     
Here is the inside of the digipak, I have copied it as well as I could.



This is the front cover of the digipak. I could not access the same image as the real one so used as close a one I could find.


This is the back of the digipak, again, I used the most similar image I could find.

4. Star Image - rules

Pink Floyds album cover uses the name of the album to create a visually intriguing cover.

This album cover for 'Relapse' plays on the name, using drug pills to create the face of the artist.

When creating my digipak I must include certain criteria. The main image, the front image, must represent the theme of the albums songs. In my case, it must be in blacks and whites, creating a mysterious and creepy atmosphere. It must also include images of the two artists.

3. Digipaks and CD cases





THE DIFFERENCES




CD cases, also known as Jewel Cases, are a hard transparent plastic case for holding CDs. These are very common and are used to stock Albums in all music stores.


Digipaks, on the other hand are thick card made fold out cases for CDs. These contain a lot more content on the album, and are a more fun, creative way to sell a product. They give a feel for the artist and include more in depth information on the artist and the songs of the CD. Digipaks are a more effective way of distributing an album or CD. The audience is more interested and fascinated by the case and it is just as easy to produce.


A list of the things that i will need to include on my 6 panelled case are:

  • A list of the songs that the album contains
  • A font style that is consistent throughout the marketing
  • a colour scheme
  • images of the artist
