1. Front, back and CD covers
For the front and back cover of my digipak, and for the design
on my CD, I wanted to go with a simple design, like how arctic
monkeys front cover for AM looks, for all three panels I decided
on a dark background, so that the images and text would stand
out, the bands name with red and blue boxes round as a basis,
for my front cover I then added the album name, for my CD
cover I removed the wings from my logo and lowered the
opacity and for my back cover I added the playlist some text
and also two shapes in the corners and, again, lowered the
opacity. I took all the colours from the logo, I used the dark
colour in the middle for the background, the red and blue for the
boxes around the outside, and
the off white colour for the font,
this way all the different parts of
the front cover link together.
Another way these three panels
link together is through the use
of my logo, I have used
elements of the logo on each
panel, the entire logo on the
front cover, the main part of the
logo on the CD cover and,
although not part of the logo,
triangles on my back cover.
2. Band photos
For these photos I wanted to
keep the same simplicity as I
had on the other panels
therefore I only slightly edited
them, I turned them black and
white and changed the
exposure and contrast slightly,
this still fits with the colour
scheme of black and white with
red and blue.
I also included the boxes around the outside like in the other
panels to keep it consistent throughout, this makes sure that all
my panels link together. It also means that my digipak as a whole
links with my other products that share this same colour scheme.
All three products link through the black and white theme, I have
kept the colours as close a possible between my digipak and
website, taking the colours straight from the bands logo.
