Digipak CD Outside Cover Construction and Development


 I started off by outlining the shape of the Digipak and adding a faded effect to each Panel just so the Digipak wasn't just a solid black shape.



 I then took my chosen font and put the band name on the front cover, I also put a vector showing a humans cardiovascular system because whilst in other genres of music the band is often the main focus of the album cover this often isn't true of metal and rock bands who will instead have Cover Art and feature an image of the band inside the digipack. I chose this image as this sort of imagery of skulls and dark imagery is associated heavily with the Metal Genre


I then added a smaller version of the bands logo to what become the outside edge of the digipak that the CD would be hinged on. I also added our record label and the legal text and barcode.


I then began work on the back cover of the CD adding the track list for the CD in the same font as the band name's font so as to keep it consistent. I then added some more photoshop vectors to fill the dark spaceleft on the back cover of flies as decay and plague are also themes associated with the metal genre.


I finally added an image of the bands lead singer that goes on the foldout cover.
