Digipak First Designs/Rough Cuts


In my first attempt at the digipak, I took an improvised approach to see what came to fruition and these images below are the outcome.

FRONT COVER
I decided to use the liquify tool in Adobe Photoshop to create the effect shown on the cover, however I felt this look did not fit my genre as it fits into, from my experience, the indie genre. The use of colour here was a preference but in reflection I do like how the blue tones convey a sense of seclusion.

LEFT/CENTRE INSIDE
As you can see here, I decided to maintain the same colour scheme although it has a higher contrast in this image. I like the image in the centre although I am unsure of the smokey effects that surrounds it. Moreover the placement of the tracklist is unconventional and at this stage I will be changing that.

EXTRA PANEL
I decided to turn the extra panel into a lyric page as this is conventionally seen in most digipak's but the colours; especially on this panel, look unprofessional and distracting from the fans whole album experience.

BACK COVER
I am really not happy with this as a back cover as it looks unprofessional and more like an image from within a digipak or an album cover it self. The back cover itself it unconventional as well; not including a track list, barcode or record label.
6 PANEL DIGIPAK
The image above shows all of the panels I have created in the first design phase, over the top of a template which clearly demonstrates where each panel would be placed.

Evaluation marking

I liked George's first evaluation which clearly demonstrates a link between his own video and real videos of a similar genre. George...
