Digi-pak Drafts

Back cover design for Electronical Doctors

Front cover designs for Electronical Doctors

Through the process of designing my digipak, I came across many styles. The first one I drafted was very bright and bold with a variation of lines making it appear busy, which I feel demonstrated the dramatic conventions of 'electro' and therefore reflects the bands musical persona and grabs audiences attention.

My second design is some what different, the photograph of a deserted waiting room is a photo taken by my friend, they granted me the permission to use their photograph for my album cover.Then through Paint I designed a robot (em-bedding semantics of 'Electronic Doctors') holding one of it's robotic arms. Across the top right a waiting ticket that was scanned in has got the artists band name on it. This design I feel brings in all elements of the band and the tracks and best represents the band. One issue that I would have with this design is the photographs are not my own therefore, I would have to go and find my own primary material(photographs) to use to recreate my album cover.

The black and white design was an idea that was developed later on through the project. The black and white images are stills taken after I shot my music video. If I do go ahead and continue with this idea I would like to experiment with the shot grabs and see what works best.
