Font

For our digipack cover I have been looking at several fonts on dafont.com. I am looking for something which is a bit classy and grimy mixed together and found a couple of fonts.

Digi-Pack CD Draft


In my digipack idea I feel that if I include a lot of pictures then the audience would be attracted into buying it. The pictures that I have included are some of the group and also a picture of a location where we aim to film some of our music video and it is also a image of the area of where our group is from, London. Also I have decided to use a main colour theme of black and blue. The reason why I had used this colour theme is because I feel that these two colours work together and also they are bold colours that stand out. The fonts that I have been looking at to use in my digipack works well with my genre I think because it looks a bit classy as well as grimy and that is what our genre and what our types of songs are about. The fonts that we are looking to use is off of a website called dafont.com and the fonts are called slammertag.ttf, Tags Xtreme 2 Font. Also the layout of how we are having our track lists is set out so it takes up the back panel and you can clearly see the names of the songs.

Digipak CD Cover Info

A digipak is like a little booklet which is made out of a cardboard like material. A dual box only has two sides where as a digipak has several sides which can include some information or several pictures. It is also folded in like a small package and opens up with the CD which is placed in the middle.

What makes a effective digipak?

  • Various images - Attractive images not useless ones so you can have a picture of the band or something that relates to thegenre of the music that will be in the digipak.
  • Colour schemes - The colour schemes need to look good. They need to be bright or attractive.
  • Font - The title needs to be in a good font which stands out.
  • Stand out and eye catching.
  • Everything should relate to your band and your genre.
  • Cover Art



I have selected the above images as they all come from different music genres. The first image is of the digipack of the music group called wyth. The reason why I like this digipack is because the artist is shown as really powerful and bold and he has an image of himself on mainly all of his pages. This would be one thing that I would use when doing my digipack.
The other two images that I included was of Lil Wayne and Katy Perry both of two different music genres but they both set the same statement. They both have an image of themselves on the front of their albums with the name of their album clearly stated and I like the look of it. I think that my digipack will look a bit like both the wyth digipack and also the Lil Wayne album cover as the Lil Wayne picture relates more to my genre.

Our location to shoot

We are planning to go and film our music video at Southbank using the skating park which is there and also the other locations what Southbank provides. Our first innitial ideas was to film our video in Brighton as we could use the beach and the pier but we feel that this location is better and more suitable for of music video. These are some of the shots that we want to use:
