As well as the music video we have to produce a digipak. A digipak is the album art, the front cover, back cover and inside panels. The digipak usually includes an image of the band/artist and is usually a colour that represents the genre with another colour for the text that stand out against it.
Digipaks are the covers and insides of albums, they help sell the album by making it look attractive in different ways. The digipak above is for Michael Jackson's This is it. The overall colour is white but the there is an outline of the artist who is filled in with scenes from the tour which is brightly coloured.
This could be a way of reveiling more about the artist like their personality for example. This digipak could be aimed at anyone because its suitable, theres nothing making it just for adults or just a younger generation. I think our digipak will be quite different to this one because it is of a different genre so most aspects will be different for example the colour, ours will most likely be dark/dull in colour plus it will be aimed at an older audience.
This digipak is more likely to resemble ours because it is of the rock genre. I like this digipak because it features the band just like their music videos do plus it features all the right colours, black white and red. The type is big, bold and gold in a graffiti-ish way contrasting with the rest of the cover so it stands out. Plus there is a warning in the corner for explicit content which shows that this is more suitable for an older audience.
When it comes to making our own we will refer back to this for ideas on our own. Obviously we will focus more on the bottom one because it relates to our genre and ours will hopefully do what this one does.
It might be good to start by stating that you will produce a digipak and need to know what one is and what to include. it is worth adding a definition of a digipak (google it!). Then list the features you need to include on a front cover, a back cover and inside panels. You could then explore your examples. End by stating that you will sue this research when developing your own digipak later on.
