Making my own digipak for our band

After researching into different types of album covers, and also researching into album covers from the same genre that our band is in I am now going to try to make a first draft digipak for my band. Every member of our group is doing a digipak as well, and the reason we are doing this is so that we can use the stuff that we like from each album cover and find out the stuff that we don't want to include. 


Above is the template for our digipak, and as you can see, there are essentially 4 final images that I am going to have to create to complete this digipak. 

Since it goes best with the genre conventions, and since I have seen more examples of these types of album cover within the pop-rock genre, I am going to try and do a photoshoot album cover, but I didn't want to take up any more of the bands time since we took them for a full day on the shoot, and we also are going to need them for photos for the real digipak and for the social media when it comes to doing that, and so I am going to use the best of the photos that I took on the shoot day itself. This is the digipak as a whole. 

Looking at the digipak as a whole I am pleased with what I have done, but I can already see one thing that I should try and improve on if I do a second draft. As you can see the first 3 pictures all look part of the same album cover, especially due to the colouring, where as the inside left (image number 4) has a totally different colouring, and so it looks quite alien when put next to the rest of the digipak. 

This is the digipak separated up into different parts. 





The software that I used to make my album was an app on my phone called Picsart. 


Overall, I am pleased with how this went, and I am curious to find out what the rest of the media group think when I get some feedback. In general, I did think this went well, but I thought that I did a better job at researching into different social medias.
