Digipak.In what waysdoes yourmedia product use, develop orchallenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Front cover.The front cover of our digipak is professional and is also very conventional, it includes an image of the artist, the artists name and the name of the album, all which appear on professional front covers. Our image is appropriate and has been displayed in a creative form which also represents our genre as it is creative. The shot of the image is also appropriate as he fits in proportionally to the frame.

The colour theme for the whole digipak is beige, white, navy and pink. All of these colours go together well and compliment each other.

Front cover. My research led to a lot of my front cover choices, it had great influence on the style that we chose and the type of image we took.Due to research we decided to go with an image of the artist on the front cover rather than a piece of art as more people liked the idea of seeing the artist.When asked which cover do you prefer around 70% selected a digipak with the artist on. This led us to decide to include an image of the artist and have some art on the inside cover.

Back cover.My back cover is also conventional, it displays the song names on the back like other digipaks do and has the producers at the bottom. The image on the background of the back cover is a square taken from the background on the front cover. This way when opened it looks continued and also adds some depth to the back cover instead of a simple plain colour.The font used to write the song names is also used on the inside front cover, this shows continuation and house style.

Back cover.We researched a lot into existing material and made a very conventional we have all of the same features as this professional one such as a barcode, producer information and song names.

Inside coverThe inside cover we created is perhaps unconventional, this is because hardly any CDs have notes from the artist anymore, however we thought it was a nice touch and gives a personal touch to the album.The cartoon image on the background was initially made for our poster, but it subtly links the two and again is quite personal and creative.The background ( the pink and grey) is taken from the wall in our music video which is used to show that Talk it out the song we chose is the main feature of the album.The font is the same font as on the back cover which links the two and looks a bit handwritten which again gives a personal touch.

Inside coverWe did a lot of experimenting and researching to choose which cartoon idea to pick and use when we decided it was to be going on our digipak, we made a questionnaire to ask which was preferred and the style on the right was more popular so we used that one as it was more simple, however we ditched the speech mark as we added different text.

CDFor our CD we kept it pretty simple, the colour is the same colour as background of the front cover and the background is the same image as the back of the inside cover. The text on the CD is simple as there is a lot going on already with the cartoon and front cover. It combines all of the colours in the digipak, white, pink, beige and navy. This ties the whole digipak together.

CDThis was the CD I used to base my ideas of, I copied the place of where the writing is and made the artists name bigger than the album name and used two different colours.

summaryOverall I have created a professional digipak where the only controversy is the inside cover due to the artists quotes. My digipak has house style throughout and relevant conventions like barcodes, song names, title and they are appropriately placed.
