Page 1: Digipak Inside Panels

We used a ‘sticky tape’ photoframe effect from Paint Shop Pro 9 in order to give the appearance of a scrap book. This relates to the photos which the girl sticks on the wall in the video and the use of the image of the boy and girl on the front which also appears to be stuck down. The slanted angles of the ‘photos’-which are made to look as if they have been taken on an old-fashioned camera- and the makeshift style of the tape connotes the rebellious nature of the indie genre, which appeals to the ‘alternative’ target audience

The colour red is the main motif that links the three texts together and creates solid intertexuality. Red has connotations of danger, love and passion. This is contrasted with the ‘innocent’ appearance of the girl on the front cover, as she is dressed in a white jacked- which connotes purity and innocence. We have used a large amount of red on the inside of the digipak, in the colour of the panels themselves, the doll’s tshirt and the images from the video, which link to the red text in the magazine. This contrasts with the muted colours of the outside panels, in a similar way that the red room in the video contrasts with the lightness of the park outside

Despite our original intention to include all the lyrics written in handwriting-style font on this panel like a journal, we found that this looked too cluttered. We have instead used an extract from the title song- “Wall of Arms”

The music of artists who are signed to a record label is copyright, and it is a requirement of the industry that this is stated on the digipak

We used a close-up image of the doll in indirect address, making it appear as if it is looking at something. This creates intrigue and a voyeuristic element. As it will be almost entirely obscured by the CD, it will shock the audience and create an enigma
