Research ideas for digipack front cover.



Front cover

For my front cover i think that a simple design will work best as it looks effective and then the inside can become more exciting. The reason that i have chosen the circles is because the album will be called circles and i think that the image and text should match. I am not sure on what type of circul i am going to have, or how many i shall have on the cover but i like the idea of the word circle being involved with the image in some way.

I have two image of people that have then been made out of circles as i think that the design looks very unique but i am not sure if it would look good as a front cover, or match the style of music that i have chosen (soft rock).
I have also added some paint pictures as i think it looks effective and although they arent actually circular, they have a circular look to them. I also love th picture of the dandilion and birds as it shows a story of being free and that would relate well to our band and their music video.

Behind the CD (middle)

For the behind of where my CD will be i want to create a sort of illusion. If i was to use lots of circles for behind the CD then i would have to think about other things that i may put on the front cover as i dont want it to be too all the same. I like the idea of there being an illusion of circles behind the CD as the CD will be circular too and i think that this could be very effective.

Thank you note (inside fold)

On the inside fold i shall have a thank you note from the band to their audeince to basically say thankyou for supporting them and buying their music. The note will be short and too the point as the type of people that will be listening to our music will not want to be reading lots. This is because many indie or rock bands dont tent to put big thank you notes in their CD's whereas pop do, but the type of music my band is, is a soft rock band.

Inside cover

For my inside cover i would like a photo of the band members to try and show off their personalities so that the audeince can relate to them. I will either do it like the picture below and have eahc individual members photo, or as a band photo. My band has 2 males and 1 female so it will be a bit different to the images below. Depening on how i design the rest of the digipack depends on if i chose for the image to be balck and white or in colour. I am still deciding on if i should do a band perfomance shot or an actual posed picture for the inside. i only want one picture of the band as i think more than that then the digipack could look cheap. The audience want to see a disign that relates to the band, not the band members themselves all over it. But to have one image will make the digipack have more veriety within it.

Back cover

For my back cover i am going to put what songs will be on the CD in a list. the back ground will be a plain colour of either balck, grey or white, and maybe a faint circle in the background to go with the theme. The top song of the CD which will also be our music video will be in a bigger font so that it stands out to the audience as a hit single. 

The picture below is an example of how many songs i may out on the back and the type of colours that i will use.

Outside

For the outside i am going to put either a quote from the lead singer or a quote from their main new song 'Save me'. The back ground to that will also be plain to go with the rest of the digipack but i may add some colour to this page to make the digipack not look too dull as i will be using darker colours for the rest of it.
