For the front cover of my digipak I used a printscreen from the footage we collected on our filming day recently. I chose this particular shot as I really liked the colours and composition. The plain and bold colours I believe fit our genre of alternative/indie and I thought the framing of the picture was accidently really good! I also used a simple font as again, I believe this complies with the conventions of digipaks within our genre.
I came up with the album name "TRAFFIC" by listing words that I associated with the word "noise". I was torn between noise pollution and noise traffic but finally decided that "traffic" fitted more with the genre of our DJ trio. I made my own parental advisory sticker as I believe that our band would create music of an explicit content. I also followed the conventions of digipak covers by including "Featuring the number one single "dreams"" as a selling point for the album.
LEFT INSIDE -
For the inside left of my digipak I again used a fantastically framed screenshot from our footage. I believe this photo was inkeeping with our genre and I also tied this in with the magazine quotes and reviews I included. I used magazines that I thought we be interested in and would advertise a band like "Hunt The Noise" like Kerrang! and NME.
RIGHT INSIDE/CD -
For the inside right and CD of my digipak I thought it was important to keep it simple. I used a plain brick wall for the backgroud, again from our footage, that was appropriate to our genre keeping the urban feel we wanted to achieve. I then used Adobe Photoshop and the transparency tool to create a CD with a different image. I used another screenshot that fitted well.
BACK COVER -
For the back of my digipak, I used black and white shot from our footage. I thought this really captured the urban/alternative feel to our music video and also think the single chair alone represents the lone girl in our video. I chose the song titles through discussion with a friend and she managed to get her name in their!! (Martelli's Song). I also followed the conventions of a digipak by creating a barcode, production, distribution and printing company.
