Ancillary - Production: Review of mock digipack.


Our digipack is self – titled, we thought this would be appropriate as its Luna’s first studio album. I think my album art is very interesting and attractive for the audience because it its quite animated the background is displaying the milky way, I got the idea from the name Luna because it relates to the Moon. I thought that adding space and stars would help Luna’s audience identify the album.  Of all the photographs we took for the mock digipacks, I chose this one as it isn't to ostentatious and wouldn't draw attention away from the background. Artists such as Rihanna and Beyoncé inspired the picture on the front; on their albums their front pictures are very demure and pretty. I decided not to add a picture of the artist on the back because I felt that it didn't need to be there. I was inspired by Plan B’s Ill Manors album and Santigold’s Master of my own make-believe album. The simplicity of their back covers contrasted with the front cover of their album which emphasised the front more.

The inside continues the space theme, as I believe that continuity will make the digipack more conventional.  I decided not to include a photograph on the disc because; it would make the image look distorted. The font on the disc is the same as the font on the front of the album; this is conventional on most digipacks. I decided to make the disc and the inside of the digipack the same because I think that added a new image for the disc would disrupt the flow of the inside cover.
