Digipack Poster

poster date changes

After creating my design the date was as issue and the colours of the posters below did not catch the attention needed, I.e not standing out as the date needs to catch your eye, to lead the viewer to want to know what is on that date.

FINAL DESIGN OF MY 6 PANEL DIGI PAK

From the first design, i have changed the disk designs, the trays they sit in. and added the new front and back cover.

New Front & Back

Replacing my temporary DJ with my original photo and changing the back cover

the original photo that a member of my group took of me posing for the front cover.




Retouching the photo feather cutting the image out, removing the head phone wire, softening the shot and changing the colour of the shirt to similar colours of my album














Putting the shot into my design and amending any thing that makes it look out of place I.E colour, shadows and lighting.






Then completly remaking the back of the cover changing the background, repositioning the the track names, adding more of them, adding the dvd tracks and putting the advisory certificate and barcode on.





Just had to add the copy right to the back of the cover and it was done and felt happy with the outcome.

New Photos for Digi Pack

FIRST 6 PANEL LAYOUT OF MY DIGI PAK

I have created the style and effect that i want my Digi Pak to look like, using a random shot of a dj i have created my Digi Pak around him as an idea of how my original may look when i have took the photos and put him in my design.

FRONT COVER & BACK

First idea of a front cover with my random character. i really like this idea and feel i will not change much of it only the character and amend my design to suit my new character.























The back design of my cover i am not to sure on i dont really like what i have done it seems effortless and thoughtless and will change this. i will add a copy right piece add more songs and add the dvd part.

step by step on how i made my front cover

Digi Pak- Plan

In Lesson we had to begin designing our Dig Pak for our artist and had to show the codes and conventions of a digi pak e.g title , bar code. As this is a individual part of the course work i began creating the look and what the album was called from my own point of view and how i would like to show Dj Magma through his album. ( not the music video song)

Codes and conventions of a digipak

Codes and conventions of the outside:



Front:
The name of the artist, the name of the album. It will have some sort of lustration or a picture of the Artist, But this goes against the codes and conventions as Jay-z and linking park don’t have there artist photo on the there album cover. The have a rather fascinating black and whit illustration with their names in big bold font and their album name underneath.

Spines of the cover:
It will have the artist and the name of the album. It always has the disk insides format like the DVD logo and also would have a serial code, which would define it.

Back of the cover:
Has a barcode which most albums and any product has.
Has parental explicit contents logo on it as like a age restriction thing has all the makers and publications at the bottom with billing in small print a back ground for all this information to go on and the main code and convention the names, the numbers of the songs and any special features.

Inside flap:
Continuous background that goes through the digipack helping it fit in and




Codes and conventions of the Inside:



It has three compartments


The first compartment holds the booklet with a slit at the top to put the booklet in. It has the continuous background printed on it.

The second compartment has a slit in it; this holds the cd disk, which usually is the one that holds all the music from the album. Still with the print of the background effect.

The third compartment holds the second disk this is usually the DVD disk that holds all the special features and end extras. This compartment has a plastic disk holder instead of the slit and also the strongest and heaviest part of the digipak. And has the continuous background print on it.

What is a Digipak

Digipak is a patented style of compact disc or DVD packaging. Digipaks typically consist of a book-style paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside. Since Digipaks were among the first alternatives to normal CD cases to be used by major record companies,Digipak-style packaging is often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums, It is a cheaper way to make and is more echo friendly.
