Initial design ideas for digipak



I have begun thinking of digipak designs, from sketching the album cover and/or parts of it.

The drawing in the box was an initial sketch I thought of. The image was inspired by our use of woodland locations and the main character being a wolf. An interesting design I have yet to draw (post later) was to have part wolf (animation perhaps) and then the other half be real-life, of our actor coming out of a tree (animation world) into the real world.
Another idea was to have the wolf's head merged and created by the trees in the background as the front cover. The band (our main character/actor) could be gradually shown through the digpak as it is a four sided production. I had this idea a while ago and then found Glas Vegas has this style for many of their albums. This is the basic drawing of my idea.


Another idea is below, the use of black and white and then the simple landscape with the wolf in the centre (use of rule of thirds). As I did these examples of my ideas in Paint, it isn't the best quality. I could either do some kind of print (using my techniques and skills from Art) or maybe do it digitially- but with more thorough detail.

More ideas are coming...

  1. Great ideas and useful discussion. Your own art work is promising so I'd pursue this method for constructing your print productions. I think the image of the wolf on the hill under the night sky is one worth developing.
    Keep up the good work.
