Hello and welcome to my blog. The brief for the A2 course is to produce a portfolio of productions: a music video as my main text, plus a digipak cover and a magazine ad for the digipak. Although we have to research the codes and conventions of music videos we have a creative freedom to make an original, eye catching video. Feel free to have a look around my blog and don't be afraid to leave any comments on any of my posts. Thanks!
Front with the album artwork accompanied with the artist name and the album title
Stickers are usually found on the front of the digipak saying "includes "...." in this album!"
The outside of the digipak can use very bright and inviting colours to make it attractive on the shelve and then use darker colours inside the actual digipak.
Digipaks are seen as the LP's of this century and can be seen as a collectable like LP's as they are much more interesting than a standard jewel case.
The spine of the digipak usually has the artist name, album name
Back Cover
Back cover typically with the tracklist including time of the songs. The back cover also typically contains:
Bar Code
QR code (becoming more common)
Smallprint with copyright laws written
Website for the artist
Twitter/Facebook sites (becoming more common)
Usually the bands record label logo can be seen
Inside
Inside the digipak there is sometimes text displaying the names of the composers for each song in smaller print than the song title
There is sometimes a small handout which contains further artwork, maybe some images of the artist playing live or possibly lyrics
The actual CD can usually be found in the main part of the digipak in a plastic holder with two panels to each side
Some digipaks have two cd's within the card case. One for the actual CD and another for behind the scenes or some sort of DVD
