After weeks of work I have finally finished the Digipak. Everything seems to have gone really well in the end and so next is the Advert. Here is the finished Digipak:
Originally I had decided to develop the rose motif in the music video on the CD tray, however I was going to make the rose become a flame. However from feedback from those in my class I decided against it because it did not fit into the theme of the 'old romantic' which I was aiming for. Instead I still used the idea of the flame rose but more subtle. The record company which I have used is influenced by my case study - Sara Bareilles as her record label is Sony BMG.
My artist appears in three of the four covers as I wanted to emphasise the physical appearance of my artist as this will be her first album. The rose appears in all of the covers because the motif of the rose is significant in the type of music my artist does - in the majority of her songs have the theme of love within them. The rose is stereotypically associated with love and passion, there is irony on the lyric book cover because the rose is broken suggesting a broken relationship which links with the music video.
The china tea tray in the lyric book cover suggests the theme of tradition which encompasses the 'old romantic' theme.
As the theme was an 'old romantic' I used the back cover to illustrate this, with the front cover suggesting a sultry aspect to the artist therefore showing her versatility in music genre and themes. The back cover also has a barcode which shows that this product will want to be purchased.
The colour red is significant in all of the covers as red suggests romance, I was able to use the Gradient Map tool on the front cover to isolate the colours red and gold - illustrating romance and power or happiness this could be read as ironic by the audience as although the artist is wearing these colours her passive position on front cover is laying on the floor.
