Digipak

FINAL DIGIPAK

I would say this is my favorite image for the digipak. I just think it really suits our artist, I love the whole antique theme with the candles and sepia effect on the image. The images were taken when we were doing our final part of filming, on this section we were just filling in missing sections from our video and improving some parts where i could have performed a little better or the camera work just didn't really work. The setting was in the bath with candles around me with dim lighting it worked really well. We had taken other images that you will be able to see from my post from the day but me and Faye decided we like this one the best and the tone fitted into the digipak, We were trying to decide between this one and one that had a more cold effect but this one was rightly the winner. We edited this image using Faye's phone which was so quick and easy but so effective!

This is our center section of our digipak where the disc is held. We didn't want to use another image of me but we wanted something that matched and still suited the digipak. We chose this image as we had taken it from when were filming at the beach, mainly because its just a really nice photo and simply looks nice in the middle of the digipak and breaks up all the images. But also because it then incorporates another thing from our video, as it incorporates our beach filming section. The image is also quite blurred so we like the fact that you can tell that its at the beach but it doesn't draw a lot of attention from the other panels of the digipak.

This panel was our part we wanted to use to add in our message from our artist to the individual buying the album, When we were looking at other artists albums they always add in a little message that link their album or what its about to their fans. To do this we used our first song called 'lost thoughts' to link that we wanted our fans to 'get lost in the album' so used the song title to incorporate this. This image was taken same time as the last panel again with the whole antique theme which i think really reflects out artist as a person and maybe her interests and how shes interested in things that aren't main stream same as her music. I think this image is really effective because the songs on her album sound like they would be quite reflective and deep thoughts and my expression is quite deep and the reflective part comes in because of the mirror.

This is our back panel for our digipak, We made this from scratch. I was looking at other artists websites came across lady gaga's 'artpop' where she has a similar thing to the circle section but hers were distorted images and segments to the circle were slightly out and misshaped; so from that found a website which created collages in different shapes and then used pictures which linked the 'Adam and Eve' theme of our artist we already had pictures we were going to previously use on our website but had decided against them but then was able to use them on this! i think it all works really well. To choose the artists songs i went onto Wikipedia and typed in Adam and Eve and took words from how they were describing the story to create the titles of the songs. Then to finish it we added the bar code and disc symbol.

For our front panel, We knew we wanted something effective and memorable. When we were looking at other artists a lot of there's have some kind of link to their album name or theme so we knew we wanted something to link. Because of our whole thing of 'Adam and Eve' we wanted something that could link with that, We started googling images and we began thinking of ideas like me reaching for an apple in a tree, biting into an apple in a forest things like this. But i was looking through Iggy Azaleas instagram when researching other artists social net workings and there was a photo of her holding a butterfly over her eye we replaced this with a leaf and created our front panel!. Once we had taken the photo we then edited it, after looking at the other images we both just knew it should have been black and white and i think it fits really well.

This image also adds to our whole vintage effect of the digipak, I think costume and hair also helps add to this because of all the pearls and beads used on my top with soft curls in my hair looks quite vintage, it all fits nicely together The editing of the photo again was simply on Faye's phone although the photos were taken on a professional photography camera Faye uploaded the photos to her phone to be able to add them to the computer we were then able to edit it on her phone and this effect just work so well and adds to the vintage effect of it all. I really like the angle of the shot because its like a head on over the shoulder which works really nicely with the mirror and reflection, my reflection is quite shadowed and dark which i think fits our whole ambiance and feel of our artist and her album.
