What is a CD Digipak? Class discussion...
-They’re a traditional format, which we can buy online
-We can download album artwork when buying the track/s online
-Digipaks typically consist of a gatefold (book-style)
-Conventions are a widely recognised way of doing something
-The spine becomes the index point
-There is a front cover, back cover, a CD page and an inside cover
We took inspiration from this video off YouTube for ideas on our digi-packs
We looked at two different digi-packs in class, to explore the different ways they can be laid out and present. We looked at Passenger's album and Caro Emerald.
PASSENGER DIGI PACK
CARO EMERALD CD
CARO EMERALD'S ALBUM COVER
These are the bands existing album artworks. They all have a similar style as they are all black and white and follow this nature theme, showing their organic and their alternative style. We will probably follow a similar style to their existing artworks. I like the idea of using the lions face to be a motif in their artworks.
Beth you have used the ideas that I used in class - good use of links, but the posts you have made would benefit from more reflection - particularly on the conventions used - that is what we expect to see. I would also post three examples of similar artists from the same genre of music. I see that your group have designed the front cover - but what about the other pages of the digipak.
