Digipak Research

Mrs Fitzjohn hasn't been in for the last few lessons, so I took the opportunity to start working on my idea for the Digipak i need to design. I've started this off by doing some research on various album covers of female solo artists, just like our 'star' Ruby Reigns is. here are some examples of current artist's album covers:

One thing these all have in common is that they are all portraits of the artist, which is quite fitting with the pop genre. However, they are all fitting with the tone of the album, for example Adele's album is quite sad and reflective, which is shown in her black and white album cover of just her face. Taylor Swift's album, however, is much more upbeat so the photograph looks more positive and colourful. This research has helped me to decide that I will use a portrait photograph of Alice for the cover, with fairly minimal writing, as these covers allow the photograph to speak for itself, so I will do something similar for mine.
