BLOG;11 Explaining my DIGIPAK Design

Here are my personal designs of the cover of my DIGIPAK for our song 'Write This Down'

version 1 (promotional version)

version 2 (deluxe version)

Digipak actual cover

As seen above, are three unique versions of the 'Write This Down' Digipak cover design. Version 1 is the promotional version, where this will be posted, promoted around social media, and be on most versions of the album/song. Version 2 is the deluxe version, where only the colors red and black in high contrasts have been used to produce a more exclusive experience. And finally the Digipak actual cover features the same image design as the promotional version but with a pink backdrop in rectangular form which will be the exact print on my Digipak front cover.

Through out my Digipak design, I've decided to stick to this one photo-the one where I'm sitting on the front of the car. This photo was shot using my DSLR camera which is the one I've used to film our music video of, in the garage next to the sport car which is used as a main prop in the car scene where Bobby and Arthur are rapping. Although me personally have not appear in our music video, this shot of me sitting at the front of the sport car still has direct link to it because in our song, the lyrics 'she fit me to a Texas T, baby was black gold.' & 'picture me rollin in a five hundred, buying roses in the dozen, for the lady I want.' are representing beauty, wealth, and status, which the sport car that I'm sitting on may be directly referred and denoted to.

'Focal zoom' effect in 'Picsart'

My Digipak features a four-paneled design, and the inside of it is presented in a pretty traditional way. The inside left are created using adobe photoshop, and it includes two of the three front cover designs in contrasting colors, with the most representative lyrics of our song printed out in a symmetrical way for aesthetics and recognition. And the inside right is where the physical disc of our song will be placed at. On the disc is an artistically-impressed picture I've created using the application-'Picsart' where I've utilized their freestyle, blend, crop, shadow, and focal zoom effects to create this un-dull sense for the user, which also makes the disc itself to look a lot more expensive and exclusive so that it's less likely for the buyer to regret purchasing our Digipak.

This is the back cover of my Digipak which includes a crop of SoulChef's 'Escapism' album cover picture, a brief annotation of the song's content & release, production credit noting that the song is produced by SoulChef, and a bar code that's necessary for the physical Digipak's release. For the background color, I've used the 'suck' tool in 'Picsart' on the Digipak's actual cover which allows the theme to stay consistent.
