Creation of Digipack

We used the same layout for the design of our digipack and our magazine advert. A digipack is a virtual booklet that is within a cd case, and is what usually comes with the CD. It usually contains the track list to the album, the lyrics to the songs and other details about the band. We went for the same layout as the magazine advert by having a faded vintage background with the same logos as last time. However our digipack contained the lyrics to the song and promotional pictures of the band to present them in a good light and promote their image.

The front cover to the digipack displays the band on stage with their instruments. The image is faded using effects in Photoshop, our editing and creation software.

The digipack is what people see the CD as, so when there in a shop the design needs to stand out, but also reflect on the bands image. The font that we used for our design was fairly wild to reflect off the message of the song, where a girl is running free and not caring.

The first inlay has the same background as the rest of the designs. There are 4 pictures of the band on this though. They are all close ups on the bands instruments, all in black and white except the top left. According to the rule of thrids, the eye reads fromt the left, so the first image that would be viewed would be the colour picture of one of the girl's.

The second inlay again carries the same background with the lyrics inside. The lyrics are placed on the left hand side of the page and two pictures are located on the right. One of them is an iconic Jack Daniel’s logo with the Toy Hearts writing. Below that is one of the Toy Hearts actual logos. This is a heart with ‘Toy Hearts’ logo, designed to look like a tatto.

The back cover displays the track list to the album. This panel displays the songs written by the band and gives the number of tracks on the album. Again we used the same vintage background and had a curly font. We used the picture of a double bass player in black and white with the same frame format to keep continuity. The black and white photo displays the bands elegance and promotes them in a proffesional way.
