Developing digipak

The colours of the font on the front cover were chosen to emphasize the name of the band. I chose four colours which I thought worked quite well but was advised to experiment with one colour rather than a range. Also, in the smaller versions, I changed the colour of the moon, giving it a glow using a pastel yellow. I decided that I preferred it without the tinted moon.
The first panel has a British Union Jack sticker on the guitar with other folk/ska instruments around, with wolf heads named after the band.
The second inside panel has the wolf head either looking up at the moon or into a hole, which looks to the music video. Using PhotoShop I used a low opacity, black coloured brush to go around the edge and in the wolf's head. The next experimentation shows Tamas' head in the white space, which I don't think looks aesthetically successful, therefore it won't be in my final selection. It may have worked with a different photograph perhaps.





The back cover has the track names on a banner, carried by birds against the sky and moon, above the wolf on the hill, linking to the music video and front cover. All the panels have the similar style of drawing, drawn by myself and link with the music video animation imagery. The record label information was influenced by Paolo Nutini's latest album as it seemed relevant to having copyright on the illustrations (like his album has). The "Island Records" icon was to show where my own record label would be placed. It is not going to be used on the final version. On the other hand, Island Records does have a range of indie/rock/folk artists, from Florence and The Machine to Mumford & Sons.
