Finished Digipak

Evidently, with my finished digipak it is clear that i was more drawn toward design one of my rough digipak designs, i believe that the front image is powerful and gives buyers the sense that the music and instruments are very important to the band, and that they want to show this by displaying them on the front of their single cover, i also believe the font is very bold and powerful, whereas the song title font is very smooth and fancy, and fits in with conventiosn that can be noticed throughout the Post-Hardcore genre. I also believe the lighting i used was very useful, as it shines on the guitar giving it colour, and leaves the background looking very serious and dark, giving nice contrasting colours in the image. I also used an effect that made the image lose alot of it's colour and also look darker, while keeping the guitar light and colourful.

On the back of the cover i have gone with the pciture of the microphone hanging against a plain wall behind, with no other objects being within the photo it allows the microphone to be the main subject. This i believe portrays the importance of the singing within the song, i also believe that it looks rather a lonely image, which is complimented by the effect i used to drain all c olour from the image. Also some parts of the picture where complimented by the lighting, because without the light in the picture it would be too dark and be very dull and boring. I got inspiration from this image from another digipak that i have seen in the past, although i can not remember which artist it was, only that i remember the idea and it was very eye-catching and fitting for the genre as dark imagery is a noticeable convention.

On the inside of the digipack, i could not keep the picture of the band as one of the bandmembers i used was incapacited for a week or so, and could not be in the photo, so i decided to go for an image i believe fits in with the song, as the song is called "This could Be Anywhere In the World" i believe this image of the sun (with evident effects) fits in very well, as the sun (in the day) is seen by everyone, all over the world, and can be seen as a symbol of being 'Anywhere in the world'. I used an effect that made the image look old, and in parts worn. The effect also gave the sun a brighter appearance, with the beams of light evident coming out of the sun. The image fits with the genre and can be related strongly to the song name.
