Paper plan for Digipak

Cover Art

I have made this hand print from paint to look like the one i originally found online. This is a simply idea that i think will work really well on the cover of my minimal digipak.

Disclosure album cover

I have taken inspiration from the Disclosure album cover. The two band members faces have been enhanced and drawn on with a small white brush tool, presumably using photoshop or similar software. This is a really unique but simple enhancement and something i haven't seen before so i wanted to recreate it and use the technique on 'intoxicated'. I am undecided as to wether i would want this image on the digipak or poster as it does look very ammeter. Then again the simplicity of it really works well.

Digipak Design in progress

I am using Photoshop to design my digipak. I have taken this hand print from Google and used it as a recurring motive in the package as it is on the front cover and left cover of the digipak. For the final digipak i will take a photo of my own hand print and enhance it using photoshop. I wanted to create a simplistic digipak and the exterior of it show's this idea. However i have used the flurecent green colour (taken from photo) as a background to the inside. This shock of colour i think would look really exciting when someone opens up the digipak.

I don't like the idea that some people buy an album just because they like the look of the band. However i do think a photo would be important. Therefore i have included a photo of the band and placed it behind the where the CD would be.

Due to the simplistic approach i am trying to take with my digipak i will not be including credits or thank you lists. The back cover simple reads the names of the song. If the consumer of an album wants to find out more about the band e.g pictures, making of the album, thank you lists, lyrics, or video's they could head to the bands website or blog.

Design Template

This is a digipack design template downloaded from http://www.discwizards.com/ . I will use this template on photoshop to design the digipack for the band.

What designs am i having and where?

Photoshop design of handprint on the cover with band name and album name

Image of boy on the left side of the inside and girl on the right. Imaged will be black and white and cut out on photoshop.

Fonts?

I have found two fonts that I really like from DaFont. The fonts are quite simple and classic which in my opinion would contrast well to the colour scheme and music.
