New Lyric Page

Lyric Page

  

I made a lyric page but the text was different to the rest of the digipak, and I know that usually digipaks keep the fonts the same throughout. So I went back and changed the font to match the track list. I thought that the title of the song could stay the same because the song title would have a different font as it is specifically the song on this page and not the album. I thought about changing the font of the back cover instead of the font of the lyrics because the font of the lyrics before were clearer to see but then the back cover would have been out of genre.

I like the way the institutional information fits properly on the image, and it looks good with the record company as well. The font of the track list fits the theme of the digipak because it's really girly and cute.

Lyric Page for Digipak

I've made a lyric page for the digipak. This is for the extra panel on the outside of the digipak.

I did this by colouring over the background image in white paint and reducing the opacity of the layer so that the effect was blurred. I then added in the lyrics in a clear bold pink font. Because the lyrics are so long, I had to use two columns to fit them on the page. I found the font online and I liked it because the theres only one heart and its like a simple decoration.

Final CD Tray Design

I finally decided on keeping the Cd design simple and not including writing. I used a picture of Matilda holding a balloon and decided to fade the edges out in pink. For the CD tray itself, I just cropped out a picture of the flowers on the graffiti wall and used that so that there was a running theme of flowers throughout the digipak.

Research on Digipak CDs

After looking at some examples of CD designs I found that overall, they aren't overly decorative, and a lot of them don't even have writing on them. I think I'll probably just put a design or picture on the CD, instead of covering it with warped text.

CD for my Digipak

CD for the Digipak

This is the first draft for the CD to my digipak. It has a kind of 70's feel to it because of the warped text around the cd. I don't think it fits with the genre of the rest of my digipak because of this and I'll have to redraft it. 

Another reason I'm not using it for my digipak is that after talking it over with someone else, they mentioned that the design was bold, and if the design is bold that would mean that everything else in the digipak and my website would have to be bold and outgoing too. I think I prefer to stay simple with the design.

Spine for Digipak

Spine For Digipak

 

 

I wanted to use the flowery background for the spine of the digipak in order to keep the images consistent and I think it works well, but I don't like the font of the name, the album title and the reference number.

I'll have to download a new font for them to make them fit well. But I do like the way that the label name looks on the spine. You can't see it clearly enough so I'll have to put it on the back cover in a bigger size.
