Ancillary task

For our ancillary task our task was to design a digipack for our music video , which included a CD Cover for our 'album', a back cover  , an inside panell , a back pannel and two side pannels .
Originally we had decided to create a digipack consisting of 6 pannels , however when designing I thought it would be easier to create 4 pannels rather than 6.

Researching exisiting Digipacks ...

The image to the left is an example of an existing digipak. As displayed , it is visible to see that there are four pannles , one being the front cover , the second being the back cover . The third being the pannel which lays behind where the actual CD lays , The fourth being an insert and the last two side pannels which are not displayed , are inserted in the two narrow sides of the cd cover.
What becomes increasingly noticable throughout this digipak is the repetition of the artist's face within every pannel of the Digipak. The images correlate strongly with the theme of the album, which works effectively .



Researching existing Album covers ...

Since  we've chosen to make a music video to marvins Room which is by the artist drake i felt that it would be most relevent if I researched CD Album covers by Drake himself , since it would be both inspirational and motivational for our CD Digipak.

When researching Album covers by 'Drake' I found it extremely hard to distinguish the real album covers to the counterfits , which had been created by people on the web , there were several copies of  Drakes album 'Take care' and thank me later , however several of these copies , were designed to a high standard , so could also be used to inspire our Digitpak . What attracted me the most  in these CD Covers was the use of Typography , which enabled the cd cover to stand out from the page .


Official Drake CD Albums...

The image to the left is The CD cover
of Drakes first album called "comeback
Season" . To be completely honestly
I'm not extremely fond of this image
as i find that it lacks sophistication
and is rather simplistic . However
the imagery used within this album
cover is reflective of the message being
evoked. It's almost as if the autum
background of the colourful leaves conveying
themes of tranquility and reflection , which is
essentially what drake has being doing before
his comback.
