DIGIPACK RESEARCH

For my digipack I am going to use the usual general convention of a country pop genre artist. I have done research into what these conventions usually include and have come to the conclusion that there are two main things nearly all digipacks of the country pop genre have:

• A close intense imagine of the main artist often with the artists directly in the centre of the shot, or two one side of the image. They are rarely bigger than a mid-shot .
• The font they use is generally simple and clear and continued throughout the digipack. 

I am going to use these two trends in my final product as I feel my music video will challenge conventions in other ways and want this aspect of my project to follow conventions. I hope to have an extreme close up shot of my artist as the cover photo and will work around what fonts and colours look best with the shot. I hope to keep all aspects of the cover quite natural, using earthy colours and simply fonts. 

CD PAGE

I wasn't really sure what image I wanted portrayed on the page the CD was going to go on.
I therefore did some research and found a very simple image had been used for a professional CD.

I took ideas from this and as the theme of my album is quite autumny, i used a picture from google to see what it looks like.
Below is my first draft, obviously I know I will need to take my own image and apply it to this picture.

DRAFT DIGIPACK PAGES

Above are my first two drafts of the back and front pages of my digipack. I am aware the images are quite unfocused which is a lot of the reason I chose not to eventually use them. 

Below are my second drafts of the front and back covers. I prefer these because I think they are more conventional and the images are more affective and impacting.
