Digipak Construction

Firstly, before anything was done, research would prove to be essential in the design and construction of the digipak. As a group we concluded that we would emulate the same or similar house styles to that of the group 'Bloc Party'.

The image on the right is an example of Bloc Party's Cd designs, which we thought had some attributes that we may use for our own digipak. On the left is an image of our first digipak design. We tried to stick to the same font as Bloc Party to keep the house style the same. The title of the Band 'Bloc Party' and the title of the album go across the middle of the CD.

The digipak, was being constructed in Photoshop by Sophie Jansen. She designed more than one digipak to see how each would look using different designs.

Different layers were used in the creation of this digipak you can see on the left. The design on the left, became one of our final two digipaks to completed.

For the front cover of one of our digipaks, we used a similar image from our magazine advert. We felt that this might work well with our target audience. Jessie J also took a similar approach and used her poster image as her album front cover.















The second of our digipaks, was the more popular one in our group. Research again was vital in the creation of this digipak.

On the left is the back of Bloc Party's 'A Weekend In The City' album.  We felt that it was important to emulate this style of font layout. The image used for the back of Bloc Party's album is that of scenery whereas ours is of our actor Jake with his eyes closed. We felt that this would be a good picture for us to use as our back cover because the front cover of the album has Jake looking into the camera with his eyes open.

Just behind the front cover of the album, is an image of both Jake and Emily together and apart in single joints. The single shots of both Jake and Emily together is important as it shows them with one another. Above and below the image of Emily and Jake together, are both single shots of them but apart this time. These pictures were edited in Adobe Photoshop by Sophie Jansen and placed on a cream like colour background which was our CD case. The black paint seen on this image was also created in Photoshop and was placed on this image as a design.
