Inside Images for Digipack


Second Panel

Third Panel

These are the design that I have made for the inside of the digipack. These are still provisonal designs as I am waiting on feedback from an chosen audience to give their views on both images.

Advertisement Designs

I have created three designs of my advertisement posters which are slightly different to each other. I am going to ask a small number of the target audience to choose which they believe is best, and which one they would be more attracted to. I would then put together the results and choose the final design which has the most votes.

These are the three designs:

Design 1

Design 2

Design 3


Final Design - Panel 4 (Back Cover) of Digipack


This is the final design of the back cover of the digipack.

Research on Advertisement Posters


Many artists, especially those who are unsigned or fairly unknown, use advertisement posters to inform the public of their new EP and advertise their music to a wider audience. How advertisements are designed and used depends on the genre of the music and of the views of the target audience, with the band wanting to appeal to them with something that they like. For example when researching I found various adverts of different genres. The background colours and added images represent the genre, even though many are in conventional ways which may not represent how the band seen their music.



These adverts show the front image of the EP/album being used on the posters. This helps to make the viewer famliar with the album cover, making the viewer more likely to buy the album if they saw it in a shop on the highstreet. The adverts also have quotes, from critics reviewing the album in at the most ten words, or rating (Out of 5 stars or out of 10); these quotes are also positive if not no one would buy the album. These adverts are not only to advertise the band's new music, but to advertise the band themselves. The posters include the band's websites, the band's logo, and the record company's logo to help promote them as well. Some bands also set up album launch parties if they are a band that are still relatively unknown, using the party to gain more fans and spread their name.

Record Label Logo

To make the digipack look more professional I had to add a fake record label on the back of the CD case. With the use of found pictures from the internet not allowed I had to make my own logo on Photoshop. I decided to going with a logo that was simple yet effective, choosing to use a star placed right next to the name of the record company.
This is the image of the star that I used. I managed to find a font which used stars as letters, meaning there were lots of different designs to choose from, with this design being my favourite. The old, vintage look of the image linked to the indie genre, with vintage sounds used in the music and vintage clothes wore by the target audience.

This is the font that I chose to used, along with the name of the record company I came up with. After looking through fonts I decided that this one fitted best with the image of the star, with nearly the exact same design used for both. The font also has a funky look to it, making it much more interesting to read than just a plain 'Times New Roman' font.

This is the finished design that I made for the record company logo.

Front Cover of The Digipack

I have designed a set template for the front cover of the digipack. This is a image of the female from the music video, with the image being adapted by the use of photoshop and text being added in. I have made four designs in which I will get opinons on all four from a selected audience and the design with the most favourable feedback will be chosen. My prefered front cover design is design 2.
