Initial Digipak Design and it's Feedback

Below are pictures of my initial digipak design:


the front of my digipak recieved quite a few comments. in that they liked the mirrored effect, for which i must give all the credit to Dan Wilkie, as this was his idea and he specified this alongside the colour scheme (colourful). He also wanted the album name to 'blend in but stand out' so i was going to do this by using a yellowey/green colour, and my classmate said that i should outline it in black. which i shall do. Another person suggested to put in sketches of a melody box to reinforce the album name. which i have done, again in a mirrored image. also another improvement was to move the album name into the empty cloud on top and have them written in a cloudy bubble writing style and move the melody boxes to the opening are instead of the edge




intially, i wanted the back panels and the inside panels the same, but i thought that this wasn't a good idea, so i continued with the theme of nature instead, and used of clouds throughout the digipak as well as greenery, the only minor improvements are the style of text again and linking the track name clouds


above is the image of the back panels and feedback was positive, as they liked rhe theme of nature throughout and the constant refrence to the album name (MelodyBox) and again the cloud writing effect will be incorporated

Inspirations for Dan Wilkie's album cover.

In class we've been looking at different album arts for different genres and found out that all album art should include :

  • a colour scheme that reflects the genre/ values and beliefs of the artist
  • Sometimes leaflets/ extras with album cover
  • a background which reflect the mood and atmosphere of the music
  • all album art should have an original and/or shocking value to it so it grabs the audiences attention

An example is Django Django:





The picture above contains all the credits, following the 'S' shape, this is very original reardless of the aguably 'typical' colour scheme


The colour scheme here reflects a desert, across 3 panels


the image above is some very original archtecture on stands, with an unusual colour scheme.

Here is some of Django Django's music below:
