Digipak




With the digipak, we wanted to keep a consistent theme. So looking throughout the website for ideas and a feel of what the feelings image is like, we noticed above that the options are old open books. We thought this would be a good idea because if we put the lyrics on the book it would be like telling a story. Most digipaks also include the lyrics to songs inside, and on the back the playlist is usually stated on a digipak.







To give the book texture, using the photofilter we put in effects the rough pastels and accented edges to give it the 'old book' look. And then used the photofilter to change it from white to a brown colour which is what the old fashioned books looked like.



We also used the same feeling sign got off the website and tinted red using the photofilter in photoshop. As we used this on the advertisement we thought we would use the same red to keep the consistency.


We discovered a font 'Andes' which looks extremely like the feelings font which we used for the back cover with the band.

To have a theme with the video, we decided to take a flower that was quite limp, and brighten the flower part but keep the stem dead. This relates to the theme of the video as it is upbeat yet the lyrics are depressing and relate to death.

The CD London Eye not only relates to the video but makes the CD stand out. We were originally going to do a red or blue plain cover (british colours) then we thought it would be too plain and not memerable for the band, so we chose to do it around the london eye to make it more appealing and memerable, also relating to the video.


We also included the basics that a professional CD would involve such as the barcode and island records picture.

Characters


The feeling have their own robotic characters. The are very simple and chirpy. Quite anime like, they are very different to our characters and our characters we created are too emo for the band image. However as we did not have time to correct this we stuck with the original characters. Also as the advertisement is would be put in a music magazine and most of them are dark, we thought it wasn't completely useless and could still grab attention. We used the characters on the back of our digipak to familiarize with the characters and help promote the t-shirt.
