Planning my digipak

Hannah Tapscott

First draft – Initial Ideas

This was my first initial idea of how I wanted my digipak to look. I decided to use 4 shots of the artist and mainly use close up or mid

shots, this is because most pop albums have that amount of photos of the artist with the same shot types.

This is my second idea and final draft of what my digipak is going to look like. I decided to use colours to make it more realistic and visible as to

what I wanted. I decided to only use 3 photos of the artist after looking at more digipaks for ideas. I kept with one main colour scheme throughout

which will be pink.

Final draft of my digipak

How and where I got my inspiration for my digipakI looked at album covers and

noticed that the artist name is often in a large font on the front of the album cover along with a

close up or mid shot of the artist. It is very rare for a album cover to use a long shot of the artist.

I looked at song title listings and noticed they were always on the

back. I also noticed that they were mostly very simple and

kept to the colour scheme with the song titles written down the

middle of the page.I noticed that a lot of

digipaks have plain pages with a mid shot of the artist on without any wording. I decided to add a border to

mine to make it a little more interesting throughout.

How and where I got my inspiration for my digipakI decided to put a close up of

the artist in a Polaroid picture frame as I was inspired by Carly Rae

Jepson’s digipak and thought it was very interesting.

I looked at different CD discs from artist and noticed that

they were mostly a plain colour (keeping with the

colour scheme of the album) and with the name of the

artist and title on the front.I looked at the

acknowledgements page of the digipak and noticed that

they were all displayed in different ways. I decided to

combine these ideas by writing them in a section of

the page.
