Plan for Digipak

We have each thought of 2 ideas each for the digipak, this doesn't mean that we are going to use any of them but this is just our ideas of where we want to go with the digipak. In our final idea we will most likely combine aspects from all of our ideas to create a digipak that we feel really fits the music video and genre.

Connor's Ideas:
 

 

This was my first idea, I wanted to have that feeling of space and I thought that this picture was the right one that I was looking for because it suits the Drum and Bass genre, I have looked at loads of different covers in the genre and most of them seem to use a space theme or yellow/black. I then put the text over the image, I chose the text because I think that it goes with the genre and feel of the album, the album has a space feel to me. I think that the only couple of problems with this cover are that the texts are a bit far away from each other and the colour of the text should be changed as it isn't really easy to read and it should be in your face.

 

This of course isn't a professional cover but it is an idea that will be developed further if the group decide this is the one that we want to use.

This was my second idea, I thought this was a really nice image to use because I think that the space look suits the Drum and Bass genre, I love how the different colours merge and form a nice oval. The colours are nice because I think that they fit the genre and the space background adds a nice finishing touch. The text is pretty good on this one I feel because it is in the right style and in the right place on the image, the colours draw the audiences eyes into the middle where the text is.

This of course isn't a professional cover but it is an idea that will be developed further if the group decide this is the one that we want to use.

Reece's Ideas:

 

This design was inspired by the album cover for DJ Fresh's Kryptonite and drum and bass from the core, a compilation album by cosmic core like most drum and bass covers I kept to making the predominant colours, the stripes and text, as Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (black).
 

For my second idea I decided to stick to the key colour scheme found in drum and bass videos which is Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key (black). The image of the man is a stock image from a website but this will be replaced with and image of our artist if this design is used for the real thing. The image behind the man is a space nebula. I put this on the cover as to me the phrase "anyone out there" refers to asking if their is intelligent life in outer space.
 

Jack's Ideas:

This was my first idea for a digipak. My reasoning for this is because I wanted to have an image relating to the title 'Is Anyone Out There'. Therefore my idea was to have an open spaced area (such as a canyon or the open ocean), without any people or animals insight. I also wanted the image to seem as if it was coming from a first-person view, to echo the idea that the artist is in the location shouting 'Is Anyone Out There'.

This was my second idea for a digipak. This design was mainly made to follow the CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key) layout that is often present with both Drum 'n' Bass digipaks and albums.
