As I am working in partners with someone, we are going to design different CD digipacks.
1.As you can see from the above, The four panels have a relationship together due to the house colours which we have chose. Our overall colours will be Black and Gold with Silver. On the front panel the background will be Black and the Gold will arise in the Logo of Alexa Povey and the album title. The silver will stick out in the image of eyes and The spider web I am including in my album cover which are included on the front panel and back and the inside as well. The back pannel where the track list will consist of, the font will also be Gold surfacing on a Black background hanging of a spiders web. Where the artwork/lyrics are included, it will also share these house colours along with the spine. The overall Theme will be a strong feminine Indie theme with soft images and serif font to show the femininity of the Album. Most images will include eyes.
2. The choice of image relates back to our image motif of eyes, but my image will be a spiders web to link with the album title 'the haunted web'. The eyes of our actress will stand out as we will put heavy make up on to make the eyes look illuminous, the spiders web will be silver which will make it look unordinary and it will stand out. By using the image of eyes, It use direct address which can pull the audience into looking at the CD digipack. The colours of Black, Gold and Silver work well together as they compliment each other by looking traditional and moderate for an indie album.
3.We have decided to use a white space layout as we feel it is more appealing to our audience within our genre range. We want the audience to feel personal with the artist and by having a visual cluttered layout it comes across and too much and can feel very confusing for the audience whereas using white space can help the audience connect and understand easier. By using our 3 colours in a white space, it will stand out even more as it will not be cluttered so therefore makes it easier to see.
4.the design is eye catching because of the image of the eyes. It will be using direct address which is known as an eye catching aspect. It is also desirerable as it is not visual clutter, it is more personal by using white space.
5. The design definetly suggest the genre of the band by the colours. Most colours on Indie CD digipacks are blocked colours. The colours we chose are block colours. The typography is also suggesting the genre of indie (serif) as it is feminine and a traditional different look.
6. The star image is the eyes. Our back pannel will feature a link of eyes to show a relationship and make the audience recognise our artists image motif.
7.On the front panel, Industry information such as Name of the album and artist will be shown. The logo will also be placed on the front pannel as an association feature. On the back pannel will consist of the record label logo so the audience know where to find out information about the artist, and also the producer and social networking websites where you can have your say. On the spine of the CD pack will include the Arist name and Album name.
