Digipack drafts commentary:
Draft 1:
To
gain an idea of how we would like our digipack to look, we used
professional images that we do not own so we knew what to shoot when it
came to taking the actual photos. However this was only for the front
cover and inlay. For the back cover, we used an original image however
we felt as though we could not find a text colour that complimented it.
Draft 2:
For
the front cover of draft 2 we used the same image however we wanted to
be original and unique (like our genre) therefore we placed the album
name on the stripes of the shoe. This time the inlay is an original
image we took whilst shooting our storyboard that we actually found more
effective than the style we attempted in draft 1. This is because we
wanted to stick with the theme of outdoors to link with the iconography
of the genre, which we also presented through our music video so they
link together. The back cover is similar to draft 1 however we thought
the slightly different lighting may compliment the text better, however
it did not.
Final draft:
The
front cover of our final draft is an original image that is in the
style of the professional image we used in our other drafts. We shot
this image in the train station setting that our other images (and
video) were shot in to provide continuity to our digipack. We decided to
keep the inlay the same as we gained positive feedback on it from the
rest of the group. For the back cover we used an image that helps to
present the band more, as not only were the other images not fulfilling
our aims but also the band are not seen in the video so we thought that
they needed to be seen somewhere as indie artists are known for their
image just as much as their music.
