1. Digipak Evaluation Emily Spencer

2. Flatplan I firstly measured around a CD case to get the measurements. This would make my own product accurate and look more professional. I took the measurements down to later put then manually into Photoshop to create a CD size.

Ive also included once again the measurements so I could refer back to them and stick to them. I have also created a colour scheme on request of the artist and included it onto my Flatplan for inspiration.

Ive also included once again the measurements so I could refer back to them and stick to them. I have also used the colour scheme once again to refer back to, as these colours were requested by the artist I need to stick to them as much as possible.

5. Final Digipak

6. Final product - Inside

7. Inside Although I havent stuck to my original colour scheme I have kept close enough, when I tried using black as the background it looked too dark. So I used the colour sample tool on Photoshop to take a silver/grey colour from one of the images I took of my artist. The CD is blue which is the colour I used throughout with using the colour sample tool. As much as possible I tried to stick to the colour scheme and therefore made the writing on the CD silver. I have included all the information I needed on the inside of the Digipak introducing the artist and artists they have worked with.The lines I have used were made in The signature at the bottom on the inside of thePhotoshop and are just to separate the Digipak is the actual signature from the artist. Iwriting and the heading of the artist asked him to write his signature on a bit of papername. It is a simple effect but sticks to and after taking a photo of it uploaded it tothe colour scheme and helps to make Photoshop and edited it. I havent seen this donethe design look less bland. on many CDs and therefore thought it would be a good idea and make the CD look unique.

9. Final Product - Outside

10. Outside On the outside of my Digipak I have stuck to all the colours in the colour scheme: blue, silver, black. Although the background is not quite black its not far off. The black I originally tried didnt look right and made the whole production look bland. I have included the parental advisory explicit content certificate because some of the lyrics are inappropriate for a younger audience. However the artist is aiming at an older audience.The barcode I have included was created online at:http://www.barcodesinc.com/generator/index.php I thought itwould be a cool feature to have and makes the Digipak unique tothe artist. I have included the website addresses for YouTube and Facebook where the music video can be found. My artist asked me to include both of these sites to advertise him, I thought putting this at the back of the Digipak would be the best place. I am also planning to put it at the end of my music video.

11. Outside On the back I included an image of my artist and the feature artist together. This is to show both artist and so when the video is published the target audience will know who is who. I once again added the border around just for effect and to make it stand out.The font throughout the Digipak is all the same to make it look more professional. OverallI am happy with my whole design because although I havent used bright colours I stillthink my design stands out as it is simple yet noticeable.I have used a range of images of the artists featured on shot facts which show the artistin different aspects an extreme close up of the main artist so we know who he is, animage of him working on his music and an image of him working alongside an artist.I have stuck to the colour scheme blue black and silver as well as possible and I think thisis an advantage as continuity throughout will help the CD to look more unique andnoticeable.
