Ideas

Make the design look, fun and flirty, to attract our fans.
It needs to attract the target audience which in this case it is, 16 and up. The core target audience is 16 till 21. Anyone can listen who likes to listen to pop genres.

Need to add photos of my design work.

Artist inspiring me

I Like the font used , it goes with her theme, which is the princess feel.
 

Ancillary Product Designs

Group designs: Will now depend on the photographs that we've taken.

This is another way to promote his album by having a party. This is a good way getting more fans involve and giving something back.

Mock ups

This is one of the mock up of my photoshoot. That consists a mid close up of the artist. I may not put this on the front cover but may use this on the back panels. This shot uses a edgey feisty look. The pearls signifies a major role beacause the pearls are the artist individual signiture, individual style.

I used photoshop to make the image big and to crop out the lights. I used the tool bar levels to give a urban twists and to show the genre of the album. I use the effect to lighten the face and brighten the clothing.

Using Photoshop

I know how to use photoshop. I use it in photography.
The picture shown above has been satruated, by using the tools levels, this reinforces the colour either dark or light.

When im doing my digipak, i would want my photograph to be so clear because this is a new artist were bringing into the market for the very first time.


Researching Marina and the Diamonds

One of the posters

This shot i dont like because it looks lazy. I want to attarct my fans not make them think its boring.

I really like this close up, it shows the artist face nice and clear in focus. It has given me several ideas for my digipak.

Artists inspiring for digipak

I like the close up of Adele near the track list.

I love this outrageous picture of lady gaga, it emphahises the wild unique trend she brings to her fans each time. Also her signiture symbol which her fans are familliar to is recogniseable.

I like this one of Lilly Allen, the letter of her name signifies the cover. Showing importance.

This close of Lady Gaga is very interesting, the title of her album is written in her sunglasses a clever idea which i may incoorperate.

I love the urban genre the photography that pixie plays a role with. The name of the album is wrriten. The props and costume plays a big part t the genre. Her fans would realise straight away what the songs would be about.

The Do's and Dont

DO'S - to make a good digipak.

  • Use clear font, should follow the conventions.
  • Use a good appropiate size for images and fonts.
  • Clear photos in focus, shape for the page.
  • Use a good layout.
  • Use the three colour rule.
  • Use appropriate logos,and should be positioned properly: barcodes,date,copyright,title,Artist names and production information.
  • Should be creatve and interesting and NEW.
DON'T - to make a rubbish digipak.
  • Stetch images, or add too many layers on photshop making it too visiable that it has been pixelated.
  • Use layer styles.
  • Use Unessary effects that dosent suit the genre.
  • Use a font because its simply preferable.
  • Seperate pictures on every panel.

Design Ideas

I was inspired by Kate Perrys digipak.
She has the theme of cloud 9 pink candy floss going on.

The digipack includes three colours, baby pink, sky blue,red.
This is consistant which makes it clear and easy to read and have a look.
Theres a vareity of camera shot of photographs of Kate Perry.
The cd print is a design theme from her music video, like sweet doughnuts making it look fun and exciting for fans to enjoy and keep hold of.

We can see that her target audience is young teenagers, beacuse of the fun bright coulours used. Also if we broke it down , we could say girls in particular.
Kate Perry has no clothes on, this portrays her being a sex symbol, to attract her male fans.
She has her track list written in spirals attracting the fans who are picking up the cd.



 

Importance of a Digipak


Importance of digipaks
The album track list should always appear on the back panel.












Intertextuality is a key feature should be considered, as the image on the front links with the merchandise and other promotional material in order to create familiarity with the audience.








Show a close relationship between the digipak and the target audience

The digipak design should relate to the genre of music.



So I must consider the font , artist name, album name, image and information of artist and producers and record label companies, barcodes.Font Size,lettering.

Stars and icons
Because its a new artist, a close up should be on the front cover. Well known artist like beyonce, dont need to do that because the target audience is already familliar.




Representations
Good , glamour

 Bad guns vilonce not good for younger generation
Be sterotyped, black artists if they show guns, they'd be sterotyped in a bad way from crtics.
