Final - Digipak

This is the final piece which evidences the design used for the digipak. The design consists of the different London paintings which I created as these relate to the band's location, London. The design also consists of the inked portraits of Carl and Pete, the design shows that Pete has been moved to the inside design as I felt that this linked with the relationship of Carl and Pete at the time of the release of the album. The text used also consists of the hand drawn type which was made during the early stages of this project, the reason for using this is that I felt that the band's characteristic suited this style, reflecting their rebellious behaviour. A parental advisory label has been placed on the front of the label as this wants a young audience that this may not be suitable for them, thus suiting part of the brief to ensure that this is suitable for the target audience. 

Back Cover Draft

This is the first draft for the design of the back cover. I think this works well however I to further improve this I think the Doherty inked drawing needs to be removed. I don't think this works particularly well and overcrowds the design for the back cover. I also think adding institutional information at the bottom will also help balance the design in terms of elements.

Further Drafting

After the first drafting stage I then progressed to create a further draft of the design. The image above evidences that the design has progressed as one of the London paintings which I created has now been included within this. This draft still needs to be further drafted as the elements within the design don't work well together and the design appears to be too busy, with very little white space. Therefore the text will be changed in order to include more white space within the design. I also think the colours of the text need adjusting as I don't think this works very well due to the colour palette used within the London painting

Drafting

I took one of the scamps I produced and began drafting a digital version of this. The image shown above is the digital version of the scamp which has been drafted. This includes the inked version of Carl Barat as I felt that due to how successful this was it should be used somewhere within the design, therefore the scamp I sketch includes the idea of positioning Carl on the front of the album. The colours work well together and this further enhances the inked drawing due to highlighting the different areas as well as the colours combining throughout the text. Even though the different aspects of this design work well together I don't think that this works well as an album cover design as it feels as if something is lacking from the design. Therefore I will take this draft and further draft it in order to produce a final design.
