DIGIPAK: Back Cover 2

This is a new idea and design of the digipack, since my teacher argued that the digipack draft 1, was a bit clumsy compared to the front cover, which I definitely agree with. I decided to try out using smoke that features in our music video.  I also added the track list, record label and barcode, which you can see in the timelapse below. I recorded the audio on my phone as I find the quality comes out better that recording it from a laptop.








Here is the finished Timelapse:

DIGIPAK: Final Back Cover

This is the final design for the back cover of our digipak. I discuss what small details and changes were made on this blogpost. 

SR/BV: DIGIPAK: Back Cover Details

There are several things that have to be on the back cover and spine of the digipacks. These include the record label, the copyright symbol, the track list, the barcode, a QR code and even if necessary a parental advisory explicit content symbol.

Bronwen found a website called barcode generator, where she could create a barcode and a QR code. This was very useful since she was able to create a QR code that would immediately link to our website, when scanned on a smartphone for example. The website also allowed her to type in what she wanted under the barcode, so she typed the usual random numbers in that are under a barcode and added 4 big letters B, M, T, and H for Bring Me The Horizon, which gives it a little extra something, since it becomes more individualised to our own band. 

DIGIPAK: Back Cover

After having looked at this example by the band Muse, I decided to try and create something similar. I liked the blurry, black and white look of this picture. Inspired by this, I decided to layer a photo of the band over an image of Luxembourg city. I think that this will give a nostalgic feel to the album, which fits well as it is a compilation album and there are some old songs on it. Have their hometown in the background will give connotations of home and safety which the audience could relate to, especially If they come from the same city.

EDIT:

Here is the final digipak back cover draft 1. I quite like the way this turned out and I think that it is quite similar to the Muse one.

However, when comparing it to the front cover I did, it really takes away from the simplicity of that. Therefore, I will create a second draft and take a more simplistic approach.
