This is the link to my finished digipack, with feedback from my friends after it was published on facebook.
This is the inside of my digipack, once again following the theme of raw rock music, focussing on the instrument of guitar.
What is a digipack? It is a digital versatile disk (DVD) enclosed in a case used to promote and mediate a band or other media entity. My digipack is designed to be an item for dedicated fans to buy and watch. It will be comprised of live performances, hence the picture of the guitar. This also gives the impression of good, honestly produced music from a grungey band. The colours and composition of the front cover are definitely satisfactory. I spent a lot of time on photoshop perfecting the image, and alot of time finding the correct font to use. However once these tasks had been overcome it was actually a very quick process creating it. I put the tracklist against the right side of the back cover to provide some variety from usual digipacks. The 3 colour scheme works well (black, blue, white) to create a striking, yet subtle image. This would appeal for the fact it does not jump out too suddenly at the audience, challenging the eyes and scaring potential consumers away. It looks calming, tranquil, with connotations of rock music upheld by the object of the image.
The inside of the digipack I am not so proud of. It upholds the theme of guitar, and I spent ages photoshopping it to make it look acceptable. The words above and below the disk slot are words from the song that we made the video for. The image is of me, playing a different guitar to the one on the outside, giving variety and a sense of mystery to the entire thing.
