Indesign Pratice

Using InDesign I created a layout for my digi pack for 'I Blame Coco' album 'The Constant'.

I used images that were black and white, to create and indie rocky edge style, this also increased the fluency and style of all the photos, making the digi pack look professional and fitting. 

I chose the white font on the album cover, because of the contrast with the black image behind it, it also emphasised the overall black and white theme. I like the font because of the harsh letters, in an understandable way, I then used a type writer style font a bit smaller for the album title.

It was important to meet convention of digi-packs, such as choosing a suitable label to have on the album, I choose Sony BMG, and using photoshop was able to remove the white background and have a transparent background so that it did not stand out to much and looked more professional.

I also choose to use this mirrored image of coco on the back cover and formatting the track list of the album inbetween them, this seemed like a cool and unique idea, it also made the back page more interesting and gauging more of the audiences attention.

For the CD cover, I liked the 3 overlapping segments of the images, it is very engaging and works well in the circular format of the CD. The artists face also makes the CD recognisable.

Overall I believe this was a successful attempt at my digi-pack draft, I believe the black and white colour theme works particularly well with this style of artist, but maybe a few more colour segments would be useful to brighten it up and to show diversity within the pack.
