Digipak PlanningKiera Brown

Front, Back and SpineFor this digipak I decided to go with a more detailed theme by using my Photoshop techniques. The colour scheme will be black, blue and red to contrast these colours. I have decided to place a X in the background with a blue gradient lighting behind it to make it look 3D. X is a repetitive theme that is show throughout this digipak. Each song on the album has an X within it and the title of the album also has an X within the name.

The font I will use for the title will be a bold skinny font like the one used on Skrillex’s CD cover but I will also overlay a thin layer of smoke to create a 3D effect which will also link in with my music video on the smoking scenes. I have decided to rotate the list of songs on the back cover to make it more individual to stereotypical CD covers. I will add in the barcode and copyright symbols for legal reasons.

Inside cover and CDFor the inside cover I am going to create a black silhouette of a crowd of people from a picture I have taken so that it isn't copyright. I will filter the sky to look more blue so therefore it links in with the colour theme going through my CD cover. I have decided to create behind the CD by using a smashed glass effect from Photoshop with gradient shades of blues behind the glass. I got inspiration to do this from looking at other digipaks that use a smashed glass effect.

On the CD the smashed glass theme will be used once again but I will add underneath the glass the CD title and artists name as this is a generic convention of typical CD cases. The cracked effect will make the CD look 3D and realistic. This also relates to my production company which is called “Scratch Vinyl” as the CD is scratched and broke.
