Digipack 2nd Draft

After creating the first draft of the Digipak, we decided to get some feedback from our peers to try and develop it further. Everyone seemed to like the black and white theme and they liked the style of the photos. The main concern was that there was not a huge amount of variety between the photos. They felt this would show in the inside covers of the CD. After receiving this, we decided to do another photo shoot, baring in mind the black and white theme as well as the concept of the photos.

Here we had our artist dress topless with a leather jacket. This is to keep the sexualised star image as well as giving an impression of her personality through thr naked/raw look. We flicked water on her face (as seen in image) so the photos kept to that steamy/wet look. We emphasised this through slicking back her hair with water.

We took a lot of photos to ensure we had variety during the Digipak editing process. From this, it can be seen that we kept to a very similar theme to before, but just made her image slightly darker. This was successful for us as it furthered her star image.

Then Eloise began the editing process:

This is the first attempt at the front cover. We wanted to keep the same font as we felt it was simplistic but professional and stood out. We also kept the parental advisory warning to show that she is meant for a more mature audience. We thought this photo might work because the smoke gives the dark impression  to her character. The smoke also leads to the name of the artist, so the audiences eyes will attract to it, which is important for new artists (like ours).

Eloise then created the inner cover. We had always planned for this to be like a contact sheet, so she took this from a photography page and used Photoshop to edit our photos onto it. This is what she created:

This gives us a further idea of what her character is like and the kind of artist she is. The nex thing to do was to get feedback and create the back and the CD page.
