From the other digipak ideas I looked at, the font used and style of the whole have been very basic.
They also do not consist of photoshop elements(one of them did).
Only one had produced a poster, however it did not have very good imagery but the wording was excellent and just like you'd see in a glossy magazine.
Most of the digipaks I looked at weren't very interesting and would not draw me in to buy the record(Even though I don't 'Judge a CD by it's cover', it does have an effect on the item as a whole, due to the record needing correct and good imagery and also a clear, understandable font.
I find that if these people would like to use a very plain font, they should just stick to one, plain colour which blends in with the rest of the imagery or stands out just a little bit, not too much.
I haven't had any ideas from what I have seen so far, people seem to go for a 'tree' theme with the Au Revoir Simone track, which is understandable because they have an 'earthy' sound and also their album covers in the past have mostly generated around this. This makes me pleased that I have come up with something completely different than this for that track and have mine based around a peachy, pinky colouring with antique objects and a classic novel, which our video is sort of based around. The editing I am using makes the imagery seem old and gives an edgy feel to it. The song we chose has a classic, light hearted sound to it, but with quite dark lyrics, I hope my digipak shows this in all it's light.
I am going to stick more to the images than that of our performer or band, because personally, I find album art which is more abstract a lot more memorable than those which have the singer/band in every image, however if you had a track like Michelle Branch's, which is very pop, it is the generic idea to consist around the artist and what she looks like, but, I do much prefer those which just have the artist inside the cover or on the back.
