Digipack Plan

For our digipack, we decided to base the design on two main themes, which we felt were aesthetically pleasing and fitting to the indie pop genre. These were polaroids, and a colour scheme of black and blue. We thought that this would be suitable as indie culture often modernises vintage items, such as polaroid cameras and vinyl records.

Firstly, for the front cover of our album -- the bottom right square of the plan -- we decided to have quite a simple cover, as this is common in indie pop albums, with our artist on the front. However, our artist will not be looking directly at the camera, but will instead be looking off to the left. This is a method that is used by many indie artists, such as James Bay and Halsey.

For the back cover of our album, the bottom middle square, we have decided to contribute to the polaroid theme by having a photograph of a pile of polaroid photos. This will include photos of our artist, and photos of scenery.

For the CD itself, in the top middle square, we decided to style it in the design of a polaroid camera, with the hole in the middle of the CD being the lens. This once again adds to the polaroid theme, and we thought that it would be a quirky and interesting use of the CD's shape and design.

Lastly, for the three other squares of the CD we will have a variety of different designs. For the top right we are going to have a shutter speed photo of the artist, Robin, drawing the letter 'R' in the air with a blue light. This will therefore create the effect of painting with a neon light, which will add to the black and blue theme of our album. For the top left we are going to have one polaroid picture, with a photo of a bath filled with blue flowers and a blue bathbomb. We will then write one of the lyrics of our song, 'Shark' by Oh Wonder, on the photo in black marker. We took this inspiration from typically 'indie' photos online, and therefore felt it would fit well with our artist's image. Finally, for the bottom right we will use a photo of our artist holding a blue polaroid camera up to her face, in order to contribute to the polaroid theme as well as the black and blue colour scheme.
