CD Digipak Front Cover Second Draft

CD Digipak Front Cover Second Draft

This is the second draft we have created, for the front cover of our CD digipak. Although, we were extremely pleased with the outcome of the first draft of our front cover, after receiving feedback from our lecturer, she felt that after creating the other aspects of the CD digipak, the front cover no longer seemed consistent with the package, whilst furthermore she also felt the overall front cover and particularly the image, could be more controversial to suit our chosen theme. However, rather then changing particular aspects of the initial first draft creation, we felt it would be more beneficial to redesign the front cover from scratch. To the background we have added a wooden texture, which is covered in a variety of colourful paint splatters. This allows the front cover to be in keeping with the inside sleeve and the back cover of the CD digipak and the magazine advertisement to create a professional looking consistent package, whilst also allowing the audience to identify that the magazine advertisement is in fact advertising this CD, due to the the high consistency between each. The paint splats also add a very chaotic effect to help emphasise the careless nature of the target audience, primarily teenagers, whilst also reflecting the careless nature of the characters within the music video. We have placed the photograph onto the wooden background, whilst also adding a white border, to create the appearance of a polaroid picture. This again, is very consistent with the inside sleeve of the CD digipak, whilst also adding a realistic effect which the target audience can relate to, allowing the photograph to appear like a candid photograph from a regular party any teenager/young adult would participate in. Lastly we have also cigarettes to the front cover, which allows the front cover to be in keeping with both the inside sleeve and back cover of the CD digipak, whilst also emphasising the controversial nature of the overall package.
