MAKING OF MY DIGIPAK
First I had to chose an image I wanted for my digipak. I chose to have
this image for my digipak back cover
because it was a shot from my music video and I think that it is
quite an iconic scene in my music video but also sums up the meaning of
the song giving the audience a brief idea
what the song meaning is going to be about. I
also decided that when making my digipak I will
be using Photoshop which is a program I have used a lot in the
past.
Then I found an image of my record label that I will be using and I placed it on my digipak. I chose to put it on the bottom right
because after looking at other
artists CDs on that record label most of
their back covers have the Bridge
Nine record label logo on the bottom
of the cover.
After finding a logo for my record label
to put on my digipak I then found a
barcode to put on my digipak to make
it look a lot more realistic to real
digipak products. I again placed this on the right hand side of my digipak so it would line to with
my logo which is on the bottom right of my digipak.
After adding the barcode and logo of my record company I then added
some small print on the bottom of my digipak. I chose to do this because
after looking at other products I realised that they had this small print or something along the
lines of what I have written. I chose to promote my bands
record label, website but also the store where you can buy merchandise for
my band. I did this because I think it’s a
good use of marketing for my bands image.
After adding all the realistic elements to my digipak I then added the songs which would be on the album. As my album
is a single I had to make up names for the songs on the album. Usually singles have
extended versions, remix's of the single along with the
single version of the song so I have chosen to keep this
when making my digipak. To create the writing I used
dafont and illustrator because I was able to editing the size
of my writing without pixilating the font but also the writing was unique to dafont and there wasn’t any writing which had the bold edgy font which is iconic to the record
company Bridge Nine use with their other bands.
