Rough sketches for front cover digipak
This is one of my ideas for my front cover of my digipak. This sketch consists of all three girls in this type of poition. I will have them posing for the camera then after the pciture is taken i will edit it to put their names over the images, like what i have done here. The reason I want to include their names is so their audience can become familar with each of the band members. I will then add the name on the botton of the front cover "Crystal Blaque" I have added it within this sketch at the bottom but unfortunatly came our wrong on the scanner. The colours used here depend on the type and colour of the clothing that is going to be worn on the day the shoot is taken place. The type of images used here on this front cover may increase sales as the pictures are sexy, making the audience more attracted and wanting to find out what else the band offers.
This is my second idea. I will have all three of the artists sectioned into their own box. I got inspired to have this sort of design through doing research into other CD covers. In each of the boxes i will have the band members laying down and looking into the camera. This should attract the male audience as the piture will be sexy and enticing. However it wont be too over the top as the girls are going to be fully dressed. I will then put the name of the band going down the right hand sideo of the front cover like i have done here. The "scribbles" that i have added beside the individual pictures will be each of their signitures. This idea may also lead to more sales as it looks proffessional and may be diffrent from other CD's on the market. In addition it will be a signed CD cover making the price of the CD increase. This may be good idea for a "Collectors Edition". Again colour will later be decided on depending on what they are going to wear on the day of the shoot. That still needs to be addressed.
This is my first idea. This front cover consist of mostly medium close-ups of the band members. I will have them in this position or something similar. The reason I particulary like this idea is because it is not showing off too much e.g. body or curves. Instead it is just showing off facial beauty. Again this may also increase sales as the girls are portraying they have respect for themselves which may result in their audience/fanbase showing respect back. It also challenges the media conventions that women are seen as "Sex Symbols". This type of front cover will attract a wide range of diffrent audiences from all diffrent backgrounds. Another positive of this type of cover is that it wont make women feel uncomfortable with their body and feel depressed and look at the idea that this is the way girls should look as it is distributed through the medium. Instead it just shows a mid close up shot of the artists, not giving too much away, leaving the rest for the audiences imagination. I have decided to place the name of the band like i have done so here as it is diffrent and should stand out from other CD's on the shelf.
This is another of my front cover ideas. Here i have decided to use mid- shots of the band members,again within their own individual frames to portray the idead that each of the members have their own identity depsite the idea of them being one band. I have decided to put one of the singers in the middle and this singer will be looking directly at the camera whilst the two singers on the side will be side on to the camera. All three will make eye contact with the camera in order to entice the audience. Again colour will be decided on later depending on what they will be wearing on the day of the shoot. I have decided to put the name on the top of this CD cover in order to make it easily recongnisable to the audience.
