Digipak Front Cover Draft


I have made a sketch of what the front cover and the spine of the digipak may look like. I took the image of the magazine advert that I had sketched earlier and put it as the front page. I did some research on the type of designs that CD cases have and from this I have learnt that the image of the spine and the front cover are different as in the artists are doing a different pose to make it unique. I thought it would be a good idea to follow that code and convention and sketch the same person on the front cover but sketch him doing a different pose. This way the audience can differenciate the difference between the spine and the front cover. Moreover from my research of Digipaks I noticed that every CD case has th barcodes at the spine rather than at the front. Again this is done to differenciate the front cover and the spine. In my sketch I also put the barcode at the back to let the audience know that that is the spine.
