Digipak


Over all i am happy with my final digipak, i chose to use the bright pink colour instead of the original reds as it became more consitant in the editing of the images. It also reflects the concept that i was trying to gain of the eye catching covers on the shelves. Hopefully this way more people will be drawn in and take 'a second look'. I did end up using the same image throughout the digipak as i loved this picture and wanted to reflect my digipak as an Andy Warhol styled painting, this is giving an artistic edge upon the cd rather than just a bunch ofdifferent photo shoot images that have been staged.
I had edited the lips on the model to be that same shade of pink as the text, i only did this on the fron cover. On the back of the album cover i changed the pink to a more pastel shading of pink and also as a result used the same colour for the track list too. Having different shades of pink was an idea to also relate to the Andy Warhol artistic styling and also showing that the images were meant to be different shadings and brightness. The front cover was the brightest due to the factor that it had to be the most eye catching on the shelf and is the first thing people then see and are attracted to. I wanted to keep the spine and the Cd back cover white to keep a clear contrasting look in comparison.
Behind the Cd i used the same colour as the front cover shading of pink for the peoples names to help stand out. Now the male gaze was a factor i didnt know weather i wanted to include or not, i chose not to due to the genre of the music and it didnt really fit appriately as that is more reflective of a pop singer and song, or for instance R&B which was shown on the Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Rihanna album covers that i reviewed.
In the end i chose to do a four sectioned digipak due to the fact i was using the same image, i didnt want it to seem too repetative although that was partly the idea hense the Andy Warhol theme.
