The document summarizes a first draft design for a digipak cover for a band. It describes the conceptual front cover image chosen and darker tone selected to represent the music genre. The back cover features a simple window image from inside a home to represent the album title "Stay Home". However, feedback showed the images were unclear and font did not fit the genre. The redesign will include more band photos and details on the back cover.

1st Draft Digipak Alice Hicks
Front Page We've used a conceptual shot for the front cover of our digipak. We thought that the style is relevant for the music genre and compliments the font well, which we designed ourselves. We had an alternative image which was slightly lighter but we thought the darker one would go better with the dark back cover and represent the music genre better.
Back Page This is the back cover of our digipak, another image that we took ourseleves. The font is the same style as on the front cover and also similar to the band logo. The picture is very simple but effective as it represents the album/band's name 'Stay Home' as it is taken of a window from inside a home.
Analysis According to Goodwin, the conceptual images are relevant for our genre of music as they are very creative and tend to represent messages from the band rather than focusing on the bands image. Richard Dyer's theory is also relevant to our digipak as we are promoting the ideology and attitude of the band which is to think about the meaning of the songs compared to focusing on the image. However, as we are promoting a new upcoming band, we will also include some professional and casual shots of the band inside so that the audience can get to know them.
Why we didn’t use this as our digipak • After receiving feedback on the 1st draft of our digipak we realised that the images are unclear as to what they are (especially the back page image) and also do not represent the band’s image or genre. The front page image symbolises a more positive representation which contrasts to the lyrics of the band’s track-list. Lastly, the feedback showed that the font we used does not conform to the genre as it is too ‘curly’. Also, there was not enough text on the back page to include details about the album, manager, artist, etc.
