Digipak Insert Page 3

























This insert just shows a performance photo of one of the guitarists playing live. We think this is an aestically pleasing photo and represents the bands style and aim of creating good music. The black and white colours once again follows the theme of the inside of the digipak. We have also included the band's logo so that the page links to the rest of the digipak.

Digipak Insert Page 2



The second insert page of the digipak is the lyric book. This includes the lyrics of the single 'Loud and Clear' by the band. We have included this as it highlights that this is the single of the album and it will appeal to the target audience who may want to 'sing along' to the track. The font is the same as every other page of the digipak as well as the black and white colour scheme being the theme throughout the inside of the digipak, I think this is effective as it contrasts to the coloured images on the front and back page and makes them stand out more.

Digipak Insert Page 1



The first insert page is an information page of the band. We thank the band's fans for their support which we think will appeal to the target audience as it is a direct and personal message from the band. The black and white theme follows the same theme as the CD layout as it is simple but still effective. The image for the HGC Record label was drawn by Mark Reddie.

Final Draft (Digipak)


FRONT COVER



The final draft of our front cover perfectly conforms to the genre of music and the band itself. The image represents the band 'coming home' which is relevant for both the bands name and title of album. It also symbolises the message that they are giving through their music and lyrics. The font and font colour compliments the image nicely as it blends in with the colours but also stands out enough for the audience to clearly see it.



BACK COVER


The final draft of the digipak's back cover follows the similar artistic theme as the front cover. The conceptual image is taken from the bands home town so it is meaningful to the band and fits with their name 'stay home'. The font is the same as the front cover as we wanted to make it consistent throughout the digipak. The white colour of the text is simple and, like the front cover, compliments the colours of the photo but also stands out enough for the audience to read. We have also included copyright information and the barcode to make the digipak look more professional.

Production - Filming


We wanted some shots of the band playing individually, in a different setting. We decided to film in front of a green-screen so that we had a plain and professional background. This also meant that we could add in a background using special effects if we wanted to. 

We filmed in front of the green-screen in Harris Academy Crystal Palace. However, we had some trouble as we didn't have all of the correct music equipment so we only managed to get some shots of the guitarist. Furthermore, the lighting wasn't so good and didn't make our footage look high quality and professional, therefore we were disappointed with the outcome.
