My Plan for my digipak

I am going to use screen shots for all the pictures apart from the beach picture (the bit where the CD goes).

A set of rules for star image

The main rule I think is that is there should a picture of the main actor like in my one I will have the boy looking out to sea. Also the tital should be quite big as well.

List of things I need in my promotional package

For my digipak I will need to include a list of thing for when I am making my digipak.

1. On the front cover I will have a picture of the boy looking out to see and the title of the album.

2. On the back there will be a barcode, copy right info, production comperny logo, a list of tracks and a picture of the girl.

3. Here will be a picture of the girl on her own.

4. Will be a picture of the boy.

5. Might be a picture of the beack or the bench.

6. This part will have a picture of my two actors.

The difference between digipak and CD cases

Digipack

Digipak are mainly made out of cardboard and plastic trays or card capable of holding a CD. With digipacks you can have more information or pictures of it because it has more sides then a Jewel case. A bad thing about a digipak is that it will wear more and quicker the a Jewel case if handled inappropriate.

Jewel case

A Jewel case has been around a lot longer then a digipak, it proktckes the CD much better as it has a plastic (polystyrene) case. One main weaknesses is that the hinges, they are brital and will somethimes snap if put under pressur.  

Font tests

Here are some fonts that I might use for my digipak/ Album advert.

Don't really like this one.

This font is my favourite because it looks good and I think it goes well with the theme of the song.

I don't like this one.

This font is to fancy for the song I think so I won't use it.

This is to bold and I don't like it.

Digipack - How Ed Sheeran promotes himselves

When Ed Sheeran  releases a new song or a new version he puts a copy of it on his website(http://edsheeran.com/). People have commented on different parts of the song which they like.
You can also buy songs on the site and you can pre-order some songs.

On this website there is also a store where you can buy Music, Clothing and Accessories. In the music part you can buy CDs, Vinyl (12" or 7") and MP3s. You can buy a whole album or just one song. They have all the different album covers so you can tell them apart in a visual way.

This is one of the main pictures on the website (it is on every page), it is also the song cover for 'The A Team' one of his best/well know tracks. The picture has a pencil effect on it and this is carried on with the title.

I think that this will a good thing to have the same consistent effects because it shows unity.
