Tangible digipak

It was very hard for me to come up with different ideas to design the digipak as this will be my first experience, so to be more precise about the shape and the style, I examined some real digipak which our teacher has brought in. From this I have noticed that there are different layouts used in making digipaks. Some which are simple, when you open the album, there's a CD and crediting. Like the image below:












This band is called "Heretic Pride" which is a Indie genre music. The weak contrast used in black and white creates a soft atmosphere of this album. 

The album is called "The mountain goats" which represents the clouds use din the front cover of the album. However, the reason to why it is called "The mountain goat" is a mystery. 
The back of the digipak includes the song titles.

2nd digipak: 
However, the digipak below uses colour and has a vintage look. Also the mind map used on the back is interesting because I think it's unique as I have never seen something like this before. 

This album is about 'anti-war' which links to why photographs of bombs have been used for the front album cover.

(Back of the digipak)

This is the back of the digipak which shows who makes the bomb or companies which do for example : "Raytheon Industries" is marked with "Standard missile company" on the mind map.




(The outside of the digipak laid out flat)




(The inside of the digipak laid out flat)


Inside of the digipak, there were pockets which included one of the CD pockets which included information of crediting. There is a CD inside this pocket which includes the song titles.

Researching extra artists

Website

From our group, Ben will be in charge of the website.
He has used "WIX" because it does all the html coding for you which means it will be easier to build a website as all you will need to include is text and images.
He has planned to set up the ........

So far Ben has completed:

  • Biography
  • Basic Info
  • Tour dates
  • Music
  • Contact
This is a great start as we have plenty of time to plan out any more pages which will be included. It has taken a lot of researching to build a website up to this standard as he explained he has researched emotive languages other official music-related website uses to describe their band in their biography to know exactly kind of audience will love the band.

Also with the tour dates, Ben has visited few websites such as ticketmaster.co.uk, see tickets.co.uk and getmein.co.uk which has helped him to see how long the band usually goes on tour and key venues which is appropriate for their charisma level. 

I feel the Brixton Academy venue in London is perfect for our bands charisma level. As it is not big as Arctic Monkeys, but bigger than Twenty One Pilots as they singles and albums have sold successfully in the band (for Framasson).
