KG - DigiPak Designs, further development.

After our shoot today, in which we took several photos for our digiPak, I have edited them slightly on photoshop. I am at the moment just playing around with ideas to see what looks good. Because we haven't actually yet thought about the connotations and linguistic devices we want to convey in our digiPak we cannot have any final designs or anything yet. But so far I have got some ideas, I find it easier to see something than to just write about it so that's why I have made these almost mock ups.
The next thing is to decide what and how we are going to create our digiPak and what we are going to go for the inside as we have only thought of the front so far. We also need to think about text and its placement as this is something I have not done.




Obviously we can use any combination of photos I have just put some together. The first has Florence on the back and absent on the front, I was thinking along the terms of Dyer. The second sees Florence on the front but not the back, again for the same reason. The third has her on both covers as I know that the cover I personally deconstructed has the band in every photo on inside the digiPak, so that may be something we want to think about.

We also need to think about the framing, any extra design features [like the black circles I have added on some], the text and placement, and the connotations and band image. Obviously we want to show Florence in the best possible light and want the album not only to promote her and sell but to reveal something about her.

  1. I like the idea of linking it to Dyer through the absence and presence. I personally prefer it with her present on the front as i think it is better for promotional reasons. I really like the second lot of photos, the graveyard on the back is a really nice picture and i think plain enough to have song titles on it. The front picture to it also uses the rule of thirds well leaving us a space for her name and song title to go, bottom left corner? I do really like the top picture of the empty set, however i think it is necessary to have her present on the front image so perhaps for the inside of the digipak behind the CD? They look really good though Katie!

  2. I like the photo of 'Florence' with the cat and the one of the graveyard. It would be good if we could link it to Dyer through 'Florence' being absent and present.
