Development of Digipaks: CD

Draft 1:

I first created my CD by using the shape tool in Fireworks and drew a circle. I then decided to draw to other circles within the center of this circle, to make it look more realistic. I have decided to colour the bigger circle purple. As the colour purple is a bright colour and this can display how I have used the convention of bright colours in my products. Furthermore, I felt that colour purple was effective as it was bright and eye-catching.

Draft 2:

As I didn't want to have a block colour CD, I decided to experiment by adding music notes around my CD. In some ways I think this has worked okay as I think it adds interest to my CD, however, in other ways I think it has made my product look unprofessional and messy.

Draft 3:

After I had finishing placing all of the music notes, I then decided to place the album's title within the center of the CD. I have decided to use the font 'From Where We Are' as I have commonly used this font for my texts that are main headlines. Furthermore, as it thick and bold it easily stood out against my CD.

Draft 4:

I then decided to place an image behind my CD for the case. I chose an which didn't link to my other images; as I had decided to display how my CD was a contrast to the other panels within my digipaks. I chose an image with an sunset location as it could connote how the album was the ending of the artist's old style, of country, and the beginning of her new style, pop.
