Design Ideas I like

I like the artistic look of this Digipak, the bright orange front cover contrasts with the black inside of the CD cover. This makes the orange cover the centre of attention when looking at this Digipak. Also it’s not the most complicated of designs but that’s what makes it stand out for me.

The codes and conventions that I like in a Digipak are an artistic front cover, an interesting masthead design and the song list on the back cover. I think a good cover is the best way to attract someone’s attention when looking for a new CD. The masthead has to be interesting and bold so people recognise what band it is. I also think the song list needs to be on the back so people can remember the songs names they like.

Here is another digipak that I like. This one is a bit different to the last as it has a much darker connotations. I like the way the picture of the eyes cover two panels of the digipak as it makes it look at more dramatic. I also like the plane front cover of this one as I believe something simple like the star in this one can say a lot just like a busier front cover.
