After a thorough analysis of several indipop/pop digipaks, all of us had a better understanding of their codes and conventions. The next natural step is to design our very own digipak so team SAD?? settled down to exchange ideas and bounce off opinions. We all had a fair idea of what we generally wanted the digipak, at least the cover, to look like after looking at inspirational digipaks. The digipak we decided to design is a four panel one, with the CD tray on the right side, inside the pack.
Taking inspiration from certain indie digipaks we decided to have a border on our cover with a picture of the artist in the middle. We knew we wanted certain pictorial elements which we had already planned for. As mentioned on Production Log Day 3, we already had a mini photoshoot of our actress, Ghulam Fatima. We will be choosing one of these pictures which will be surrounded by a border. The border will be made of the painting Mahnoor made which is also featured in the music video. After much discussion we decided we would have the title of the album and the name of the artist on the cover but in perhaps an unconventional small font in opposing corners within the border, creating pleasing symmetry.
For the back of the digipak, we decided to use another part of the painting, the part with the light house, making the back predominantly yellow with a bit of red. We'll be using rule of thirds, the lighthouse being situated to the right of the panel while the track list appears on the left. We will also be adding copyrights at the bottom of the panel. A bar code will also be situated on the back
On the inside, the left panel will be black, with a pixelated heart in the middle, an noticeable feature in the music video. On top will be the credits while on the bottom we will be placing the copyrights once more. The panel with the CD tray will be textured dark blue, providing great juxtaposition to the CD which will have the painting on it and nothing else. Despite the CD itself conventionally having copyrights on it, we decided to add them to the panel with the heart on it instead so the painting can be emphasized on.
While we were at it, we also created the track list for the album, coming up with names a ittle like how we came up with the name of our artist.
Wrapped up with the planning, we're buzzing to get started on creating the Digipak. I'll be in charge of designing the Digipak, while Mahnoor is going to take charge of the editing and Mahum of the website.
