I began the process of creating my digipak by doing some designs and then deciding which side I will put each image on. Here are the designs I came up with.
I made a definite decision on the front and back cover, these fit the conventions of digipaks, and the style of each fits my genre. The picture on the front of the singer is generally found in rock bands as the lead singer is generally the centre of attention, as he is in the video also. Due to the major role of drugs in the video (mainly alcohol) I felt that the other sides could be interesting plays on a different type of drug in which you could see the title of the song, fitting the creativity of the indie genre and would also be quite appealing to a younger audience.
I then decided that the inside cover, where the booklet would be will be some spilt pills spelling out pretty visitors, in the image provided the words may not be very clear but the way I will position the pills and the background I put them on when actually taking the shot makes me much more confident they will be perfectly visible.
And finally on the CD back, which is underneath where the CD would be. I wanted to try an effect on photoshop that would allow me to make smoke I had taken a photo of look like it is spelling out words.
I decided against the syringe idea due to health and safety issues. plus i feel that the other designs would have much more of a visual impact.
I also realise that these designs are not the right format as the measurements of a digipak are nothing like these but these are merely design ideas that I jotted down, and so I don't feel that using the correct measurements at this stage is entirely necessary.
