Digipak Draft One

This is the digipak that i drafted. I have used a continuous colour scheme throughout, keeping the continuity of the digipak, and have used parts of the same image to also convey this. I have used a main image on the front cover which i have then incorporated into the other panels. I think that the colours i have used draw the consumer in immediately because of the bright and contrasting orange and black on the front cover. The masthead 'The Thrillers' is based in the middle of the front cover, much like 'The Killers' digipaks that i researched. This clearly conveys the name of the band but without it being the main focus of the cover. 'Burning mess' is written underneath the masthead in a colour that blends into the background image, but also stands out as the digipak name. The background image links with the title of the digipak, 'burning', keeping a theme to every panel. The back panel of my digipak includes a section of the background image on my front cover. I did this to keep to the same theme and album name. The church is the focal point on the back cover and conveys a village, in which our photo was taken and our music video is set. I have listed the song titles to keep them clear to the audience and in the order that they would play on the digipak. I have placed them to the left of the back cover to ensure that the focal point can still be seen and the orange colour of the background stands out, this is to convey that this is a 'Thrillers' digipak because of the theme used, and show that it is linked to the front cover, ensuring people know the artist of the digipak if they see the back cover. My three inside panels continue the 'burning' theme and i have used a background image of a bonfire to convey this. I have placed a photo of each band member on one of the inside panels to distinguish that the digipak contains 'The Thrillers' music and not other music with the same name.
