Digipak Development

• This is the image we have chosen to use for the front of our digipak:

• The first idea we had was a polaroid, this was the result

We decided to reject this idea as it resulted in some white space on the square of the digipak and we didnt think it looked very effective.

Secondly, we surrounded the image with a border. We filled the white space with an orange colour, we thought this colour was appropriate as it fits the autumnal theme the picture and video has, as well as the coppery colour of our actresses hair


We also used a purple colour, but in the end decided the only thing about this we liked was the font. The end result was not as professional looking as we'd hoped, but we can take the font and use this with our next idea.

After this, we edited the photo so it looked more stylish and modern, as we felt previously it looked a bit old fashion and that would not appeal to our target audience. Here is an image of us editing the photo.

• We edited the photo and used a filter called 'Diffused glow' We then cropped the photo so only the girls face was showing, we felt the image would be stronger without the tree and scenic backdrop. I feel the simple image of a face is more conventional for an album cover for a solo artist as the majority of covers I have analysed have all followed this rule.
  
  This was the final outcome:
