DigiPack - Creative decisions that had to be made (for each side)

FRONT

I have used the cover of the Beatles album 'Let it be' as inspiration to creating my album cover. As I do not have four band members I have used the top right box for text.

When creating this I also took into account "The Rule of Thirds" where I deliberately did not place anything in the middle. Instead, I stuck to the rule and kept the focus of each picture on the place the lines cross.

In addition, I also wanted to give the text a 'glow' to make it stand out and to link it into the theme of 'stars' which also shine/glow.

BACK

When creating the back to my DigiPack I had to consider what must be included as there are certain things that must be on there, such as the disclaimer. I also included the Biffy Clyro logo I created as well as the Warner Bros logo, the bar code label, the record label (14th Floor Records) and the serial number.







I used the following Digipack back cover as a reference for all these necessities that must be included - mainly for legal purposes:




























INSIDE

When the customer opens the Digipack I wanted them to be immersed in it. I did not want to have different photographs for each side as that would take away from the effect I was trying to create. Using one photograph created a simple clear and aesthetically pleasing effect.


FLAP

As the narrative is a key part of this song/music video I felt it was only right to dedicate one side of my Digipack to the narrative.

I increased the exposure of this image to make the white light shining through the glass stained windows of the Church even brighter - again to link to starts which glow and to link into the bright lights at the back of the Church in it's music video.

If this was an album I certainly would not have included this image as it would only be referencing one of the ten songs in the album. However, as the whole of this Digipack is made for the single - Folding Stars I felt it was appropriate.
