More on Digipak

Obviously, once the front cover is complete, I need to think about the other 5 panels of the Digipak. In order to help with this, I decided to Google some of Passion Pit's track listing layout on their albums in order to get a feel of how they display their track list, and how they display any copyright information and record label information. Of course, I do not even need to use Passion Pit's current artwork as a replica, as the artist we have created does not need to be an impersonation of Passion Pit. However, the reason I did this was to help me with the layout and also the record label display and context on the back of the album. 

I therefore used Passion Pit's 'Gossamer' and 'Manners' albums as the main models:

From this, I gathered that I would prefer for the track listing to be down the centre, similar to the second of Passion Pit's track listing (as shown above). I feel that the font is larger and is in a better and more visible position, as opposed to the first one which is squashed in the top left hand corner which I don't particularly like. Obviously, once again my task isn't to replica Passion Pit's current album artwork, yet I wanted to look at some of their previous works to get some inspiration for the sort of layout they seem to usually follow. 

It is also important that the back of the album which consists of the track listing coincides with the rest of the album (eg same theme and colours etc). Therefore I decided to keep the same template as the album cover, with the same colouring etc.

Following the alteration in colours of the album cover, I therefore also needed to change the colour scheme of the back cover:

Now that I have a final album cover and back cover, I will need to work on the other 2 panels of the Digipak, and then once complete, put all four on Photoshop together so that they can transform into a Digipak. Then, once that is complete I will move on to creating the album advert. 

(Update: 10/12/14 - I have now also completed two of the inside panels for the Digipak:

I thought it would be clever to use something which helps to enhance the album name; Disconnected. I therefore used lyrics from 5 Seconds Of Summer's song called 'Disconnected' which I wanted to use on the inside of my Digipak panel and improvise that these lyrics belong to Passion Pit. 

Once the inside panels had been completed, I then needed to create the design for the CD disc for the Digipak.
