Digipak design/plan

 I decided to start to plan my digipak and the layout of each page using the images I took and edited a while ago during the filming of my music video. Although I am not completely happy with the images, especially the front cover, they are very similar to the images I would essentially, like to create, so have decided to use them for the designs. I plan to take another shot of Beth's side profile and another of a natural environment to layer over each other. I feel, a the moment the double exposure hasn't quite worked aesthetically. I am happy with the triplet image of Beth with a sepia filter and think it looks classic and is a characteristic I've seen a lot in other digipak's. I am also happy with the shot of the band, however, I may edit it in a different way, until I am completely happy with it.

For the back of the digipak, where the track list will be placed, I will be doing some drawings and scanning them in to add to the design and help to give the digipak a more childish and imaginative look. Although the Nate Maingard album which used this, had a black background with white drawings, I would like to do the opposite with my back and use a white background, for a fresher, more clean look, although the black background would work just as well and play into the theme of Rhiannon and her dark sides. I could alternate and use a black background on another page, perhaps one of the lyrics pages. I will also be including smaller drawings for the lyrics pages, similar to the album of Tanita Tikaram.
