Mock up inside panels



This is how I want the layout of the CD to look like but actually have the a picture of the artist on the CD, I kept with the bubbles theme as I wanted it to be consistant throughout the CD it wouldn't make sense to have a completely different design on the inside. I added a little slot so that it could have a booklet with informaton about the artist and a special message, this is seen in CDs as the audience get something extra and unique that other people wont get e.g. upcoming concerts or a free poster inside. The Keyshia Cole CD disk is my inspiration as I think it is a great example of a CD.

Chosen photos for my Digipak




I am choosing this image to be the picture I use for the front cover of my digipak because I particularly like the artist's pose and how she's looking straight into the camera. Plus her cream turtle neck won't clash against the green colour scheme that I've chosen to use.


I decided to use these three pictures for the left inside panel of my digipak as feel they all look fierce which adds to the artist's image. Also the orange jacket will give my green neutral colour scheme a boost and the use of synergy with the artist's big gold hoop earrings will make her recognisable as an R and B artist to her fans.

My progress 12/01/15

From the last check up I got my grade has gone down which is really bad so I must improve to achieve the  grade I want.



It is very clear what I must do to bump up my grade again I must do some advert research, upload  my mock up of my advert and digipak also i must upload a short list of the photos I had to chose from to make my final desicion and make comments explaing why it is a good image compared to the other photos I took. I will post all these things during the week once they are complete.

Advertisement plan

This is my plan of my advertisement and how I'd like to lay it out. I labeled each part explaining what they are. I will stick to my purple colour theme so that the link is very clear throughout.

Short list of photographs


jessica peralvo's Slidely by Slidely Slideshow
These were the possible photographs I could chose from but I chose the one at the bottom because I think its a good photograph as she looking directly at the camera and this is how planned my digipak album cover when I drew it.




Ancillary- plan


This is my drawn out version of my album cover this is a plan of how I'm going to make my CD cover and the back. The text I want to use is quite simple text because the type of text they use for the genre isn't anything fancy its quite plain and casual. I couldn't exactly copy a simple text but this is just a plan of what I want to do.

this sort of text but bold for the artist name and a non bold version for the name of the songs in the back ground.




Either one of these two for the title of the album


I want todo 4 panels plus a small pamphlet saying a bit more about the artist so it would have a slot for the little pamphlet.

Ancillary Production pitch


Planning My Ancillary products: Digipak Mock Up

Below is my digipak. After showing a few people my draft drawings,  I have decided to change my front cover, I will keep the image to a mid close up but I will change the background as I don't think this colour will suit what the artist will wear and also it will be hard to create on Photoshop. I have opted to design a background on Photoshop and will use it consistently throughout my digipak and advertisement. I have made a final decision on what my artist will wear, she will dress in a hip hop 90's style of a white turtleneck and orange bomber jacket paired with hoop earrings which is our synergy (can be seen throughout music video). The back will have a minimalistic style, I will either put the tracklist in a square box with the same background design as the front or I will have each tracklist have an individual box with the same design in the back. I will have to make this decision when creating my actual product as I may find that it might not look aesthetically pleasing. Some people have suggested that i make my them a black and white one which will give a sense of 90's nostalgia, but mainly that my artist is of the R'n'B genre and is upcoming, also by making the filter black and white it will give a strong vibe of power and it will make the image clearer. I also found out that it is common for R'n'B artists to use a black and white them for their covers, especially when the album relates to struggle, love and relationships, which mine does. So I will also keep this idea in mind when producing my digipak.
