R + P Post 24: Planning my digipak panels

We were given a template to base our digipak panels on with the correct measurements for them to be printed in. When planning our album cover and inside panels we had to base our ideas around the typical conventions of album covers we had previously researched. This includes purchasing information, such as a barcode, institutional information, for example record labels, visual variation and bold titles.

We knew from the start that we wanted both Mira and Jax's face on the front album cover panel because we felt this was very important in order to represent our artist duo on the debut album. 

We planned to create similar but slightly different front and back panels for the album cover sleeve. They both feature a 1/3 - 2/3 split screen with Mira on the dominating half on the front and Jax on the dominating half on the back. We thought this could be a visual motif for our brand/artist duo because it also featured in our music video.

The title of our album will be : ILLUMINUM which has connotations of lights and vibrancy...

Therefore, on the inside panels we will have a landscape picture of MiraJax with the theme of lights continued visually. Perhaps with a background full of quirky lights or something we will create using Photoshop.
