Research for Digipack

This is the six sided CD cover i will be making and what it will look like. This will include a front cover with the band members and name on it or style the artists want on their album cover. Then on the back cover there will be a list of the songs that will be included in the CD and bar code also the brand name. On the inside it will be where you fnd the CD and a deisgn or pictures of the band.

Front Cover

For my front cover I am thinking of doing a simple design with the girls in my band on the front cover as all girl bands do this which will get my audiences attention. This will work the best with the type of genre im going for as itll be effective and then on the inside I can make it more exciting with brighter colours. The reason I have chosen the extreme lights (LED's) is because it links back to the bands name, The Lazerlights. I am not sure on how im going to lay out the lights around the girls but im certian I want to include the members in the band on the front cover and through out the CD. I might also make the girls faded so the lights stand out more which will be effective and stand out. I have used a few of the type of album covers that already use this style I want as they give me inspiration and more ideas on how i could plan it out to get the best look and effect. I have also included a few group album covers that use bright colours that describe the girls id be using.

Behind the CD

For behind the CD case I will use the idea of bright LED lights so it will stand out and will carry on the idea from the front page so the whole CD case is connected. I want to you something simple behind the CD case as it will be covered up half of the time but when the CD is moved I will want it to get the attention of the client who bougtht the album, which is the effect im going for.



Inside Covers

For my inside covers I want to use the girls from the band and take fun, exciting, bright coloured pictures that show how close the girls are and show their personalities that will relate to the audience. I want to get a nice group photo of the girls using different props like sitting on a sofa or walking down the street being close together to show their relationship. I want to make all my covers in the album to be bright and colourful as this expresses the girls personalities that will come through from the pictures. I might use a locaton for the picture of a plain background.

Back Cover

For my back cover im going to put what songs the girls will be showing on the CD in a list. The songs will be numbered so its easy for the customer to find what song they want to listen to when using the CD. The background of the cover will be a plain colour which will be black, grey or a dark colour to go with the scheme of the whole album. The song im using for the music video im doing will be the first song shown on the list and will be bold and say latest hit single so the audience know which song is in the charts. This is an example of how many songs I might include on my back cover and the lay out and colour used. It will also have a bar code shown on the side as well as the place you can find the band.

Outside

For the outside of the album I will use bright colours for a simple deisgn that follows together to make a picture which fits the genre and the other pictures i have used on the album covers.

Inside fold

I might use this in my album which will allow a load of names that have worked with the girls to be included in the CD case tho be thanks for the hard work they've done to get them to the stage their at now.
