Today Danni and I were hard at work and completed our digipak. We decided that we wanted to have a 4 panel digipak and then invest more time into a booklet that would then slip in to the inside left of our digipak. This is a bit like what you can see on the Beatles digipak that I analysed. Also, as its effectively a digipak for just a single and a bonus track, having a 6 panel digipak may look a bit excessive. We thought that having a booklet would enable us to really introduce the band and the members (being a new band), as with in it we have not only got the lyrics (as highly requested from our audience feedback) but pictures and bios of each of the 4 members. We too completed this today and you will see this when Danni later posts a blog of the pages of our booklet.
However, for now this is our completed digipak. We especially chose the front cover picture as it was a good photo of all the boys and was nice and bright. We then added there logo (the red 'The' and the white 'Summer Set'). We decided to make this our logo as white represented a nice bright feel (without being cheesy and using yellow for the literal 'Summer' meaning). But we wanted to use red and have it as an on going theme across all of our ancillaries. We therefore decided that red - with the connotations of love and punch- with it fading into a hint of white, would work well being the main backing colour for the digipak and booklet.
You can clearly see that we have shown how the pocket would be created on the inside left. This is where the booklet would be slotted.
The back of the digipak clearly advertises the bands website. We also legally have the 'record label' at the bottom with a bar code.
