Further Digi-Pack Research

My "putting together" of my digi pack is taking rather longer than I thought, but I want to get it looking to the best quality it can and in order to do this, I need to edit the photos the best I can. My Sister was recently in a photo shoot and her friend who is studying graphic design at uni editing some of the photos and the contrast on them came out looking fantastic! This is the similar contrast I want to achieve on my photos of Elle as it will really make her stand out and the audience will get her attention on this album cover straight away.

Album/Track List

Now that I have an actual idea of what I want to appear on my digi-pack design, I thought ti would be time to think about the names of the tracks that will appear on my album. Having looking at Pixie Lott's album, here is a list of her songs:

1) Mama do (uh oh uh oh)
2) Cry me out
3) Band aid
4) Turn it up
5) Boys and Girls
6) Gravity
7) My love
8) Jack
9) Nothing compares
10) I wish I was there
11) The way the world works
12) Hold me in your arms

So, looking at the names of her tracks, I thought I woudl do very similar names, but make them my own. Here is what I have come up with:

1) Papa Don't (mm hmm mm hmm)
2) Drown me in your tears
3) A & E
4) Pulse
5) Guys and Dollz
6) Space
7) Emotions
8) Tommy
9) Reflections
10) Wish I was there
11) Around the World
12) Don't Let go
13) the debut single - Broken Arrow

Digi pack design Idea

Having completed some research into album covers and digi packs that are available, I am beginning to work on my own design fro what will be my digi-pack cover. I was thinking because we have chosen as a group to make our music video in black and white, for the front cover of the digi-pack I would like a shot of Elle against a background that will really make her stand out. I have taken a few print screens (which are in colour) which I will convert to black and white in photo shop of the sort of cover idea I am looking for. The printscreens I have included here are from "filming day 5 footage" where myself and Elle went and took some more close up shots, fter looking at the exam brief nd trying to ensure we had completed everything on the checklist in order to get the highest mrk and grade possible.

This is a shot of Elle against a brick wall. I love the composition of this shot and think when put in black and white it will look really effective. Also, I like the way Elle is looking directly towards the camera and this will bring the audience into buying the album more as it will catch their attention straight away.

This is another idea in which I can use. Rather then having Elle against a simple background, I may use this shot of her leaning against the white gate and looking down. I like the fact that she is looking down as this is showing the expression of how she is feeling in this album, as most of the songs are emotional and about love and feelings. I also like that Elle, the focus, is in the foreground and yet the background of the shot is slightly unfocused. This will look perfect in black and white for what I want on my digi-pack cover.


Of the three print screens, this is my favourite. When in black and white, the contrast of the white wall will really make Elle stand out. I also like how the rule of thirds is composed in this shot as there is space either side of her and also enough head room. In these spaces I will include the elements that re also included in a digi pack such as the bar code, album name/title with the artist's etc.

So, from my research I have decided that my image on the my digi-pack will definitely be black and white and will include an image of Elle with a certain background, being it a brick wall with great composition, or leaning against a gate, with a good background.
