G324 - Initial Idea For Digipak From Each Group Member

Each member of the group has come up with rough drafts for our digipak. We will then look at all of them together and combine the best elements from each to create our final plan. After doing this, we will be able to ensure we are able to take our own photographs which mirror the images from the plans to help us create our final digipak.

Olivia's Plans:

Plan 1:

For my first plan, I decided to make the front and rear panels look like polaroid pictures in order to reflect the content of the album. However, I also wanted to reflect the traditional folk genre, hence the close ups of the guitar and the train tracks. These are common themes within folk albums and therefore allow my digipak to fit in with this genre. I also wanted the digipak to reflect Frank Turner's own style which was why I decided to combine the use of photographs with graphics. I then chose photographs which reflected Frank Turner's personality and the feel of the song.

Plan 2:
For my second plan, I decided to stray away from Turner's style slightly more. By using more broad imagery, the digipak would attract a wider audience and I felt like the front panel of this digipak did a better job at promoting the mysterious edge that Frank Turner seems to possess. Not only this, but I felt that the first plan had too much to it and that I would benefit from creating a simpler design in order to contrast the two to see which would be more effective.
