Digipak:The Reservoir; ‘From rags to riches’Changes made to my digipak panels

Front cover

Changes made for my front cover include darkening the background image in ‘Photoshop’ to a more brown faded colour, a theme I have used in all panels. Also, I have included a review of the album from a music magazine in order to promote my album, and increase its popularity factor to the viewer as they will be more favourable towards purchasing the album if it has good reviews.

Back cover

The only changes I made to this were the additional ‘fine details’, as I felt the overall image of this was good and worked well with the rest of the panels.I have however, included the names of the distributer, manufacturer, and record label, as well as the name of the album along the side, and 2 extra tracks. This is to ensure my digipak is more professional, and increase its popularity and likeability with the extra tracks.

PanelsThe only real significant change I have made here is the addition of the artist to fill the blank space from the middle picture. This will increase the artists popularity to the audience as he is a main highlight of the picture and so make him more recognisable. Also, I have included the name of the band onto each panel, so that the name will be shown throughout the digipak and get ‘stuck’ into the viewers mind.

CD holder

I decided not to make any changes to the CD holder as I feel that it is effective as it is already, as I feel the image of the curtains is a good symbol of theatre curtains, and the anticipation the audience gets when waiting for them to open to signify the start of the play. This symbolism is good for my digipak as it hopefully highlights the anticipation the listener should feel when waiting to hear the songs.
