Our Digipak: Initial Ideas

We will be using a basic template like this to start our Digipak design off.  This will be simplistic and easy to follow and will guarantee we get all the needed details. 


In our initial survey that we sent out, too common suggestions to go with the title 'Disgusting' were blood and smashed glass. Whilst trying to find images related to these two ideas, we came across the picture of a smashed light bulb and thought we could easily manipulate something similar for our main photo and album front cover.  


When researching more into this idea, we came across another photo of a smashed light bulb that we really wanted to emulate or use on our digipak.  Unfortunately however, we need to create an entirely new photo for the cover to look unique, even if the photo and effects look exactly like we were beginning to picture and would have been easy to recreate. 


We also realized that the image didn't really convey a feeling of disgust and so would appear out of place with the albums title. We then decided to incorporate the other popular connotation of 'disgusting', blood.  As it stands, our digipak will now feature a smashed light bulb, with blood dripping down the sides and the band's logo. We will photograph the smashed, bloody light bulb and then enhance it on Photoshop to get the most professional look we can manage.

More inspiration - our photo will look similar to this
