Digipak development


To try and gain inspiration for an album name we could possibly use, I decided to scroll through my music and see if there were any songs or artists that had names that we could use as a jump start for our own.

Whilst doing this, I noticed all the different album artwork. I decided then to google this and see if I could gain any inspiration from album artwork that had similar concepts to ours.

After doing this, I could tell that most albums expressed the meaning of the album or the title. I decided to look up synonyms or other meanings for Isolation, Entrapment Or Going back. From doing this, I found the word 'regression.' We felt this was perfect for the album name as it expressed our music video song, the look we were going for as well as expressed her character.

Here is an example of an alteration of the album artwork with the name of the album:
After attempting to add the name of the artwork, we were not sure whether the set up was right and looked professional. I decided to play around with different layouts to see what looked right :
We are still unsure of what album artwork to go with, so we need to take some more photos to see what else we can work with.

Audience Feedback


Now we had finished our video. We wanted to get some audience feedback to see what the end opinions for the video was. 
The audience felt that our strengths were mainly through our dance, choice of lighting and pace. They said that they were constantly intrigued and never felt bored. 

The only weakness they said was that they might have liked to have seen more of the dance as they thought it was so good that it was a bit of a waste. 

Another positive is that the audience seemed to have understand our concept; isolation/entrapment. As well as this, they also understood that the dance was a reflection of the artist's song. 

Overall, a successful audience feedback.

First attempt on the Digipak

Today we discussed several ideas that we could use for our album artwork. This included ideas for the front, inside and back cover. I came up with the idea of using a 'contact sheet' inspired inside cover. I feel like this is effective as it gives the audience an idea of who the artist is as well as upholds this dark persona. 


As well as this, I played around with making the front cover. I wanted to try out different layouts and ideas to see what would work and what wouldn't. This was what I came out with as a start point.


I had to ensure I kept with the same font and idea of the name as the website. As well as this, with the image behind our artist we felt it appropriate to add the 'explicit content' sign as it is a subtle furthering of her dark image.
