We have finished our digipak now and only have one more part of the coursework left to do. Our digipak has 5 panels. The front cover has a see-saw silhouette on the front. This represents balance as the superego in Freduean theory suggests to get a good superego you need a balance of both the ego and id. We tried to keep the front somewhat simple and put dripping crayons as the background as our album is called chroma and therefore we thought to incorporate some colour. We chose the font forte and added some lines above superego.
The front cover is quite plain and simple following the convention of most indie digipaks but it does have some colour there subverting the normal conventions.
The back is also dripping crayon but more bright. We put a bar code on and some trademark issues that you'd find on most backs of digipaks. We have the bonus songs and deluxe edition songs on there as well including the knee socks music video.
The inside left is very basic and is in black and white to go against the chroma idea but it works and looks good. It is very plain and minimalist like indie digipaks are and is based on Alex Turner in the AM advert for Arctic Monkeys as it only shows Alex Turner on the advert so we just put our lead singer singing on the front as if they were performing.
The CD is very colourful and has almost a rainbow on the front of it. This is very good for the chroma theme. It also had crayon melting on the back of it but is quite hard to see.
The strip down the side of the digipak is very basic and is just pastel pink with superego and chroma on it.
Overall, we are happy with the digipak produced and think it looks good. We have used lost of conventions that indie digipaks do and have subverted them as well and the final product looks good.
