As well as having the task of being able to come up with idea's of a music video, putting the idea's together and actually producing it we have also been given the task to produce a digipak in order for our CD to be packaged in. A digipak is usually linked to the general theme or idea of the song/album and would have features on the song on the CD, for examples pictures from the video or words from the lyrcis.
In order for the CD/album to be sold to the public, the digipak must be appealing to customers and must stand out. Therefore, to help me and my group decide how and what we will produce for our digipak I decided to go onto 'coverdude.com' which is an online site that offers you a wide range of different CD covers, digipaks, DVD covers etc. By going onto this site it has given me an insight of what we want to include on ours, what things wouldn't be so good and what the general theme we want to come off from it.
One of my favourite CD covers in which I found on this online site is the CD cover of the 'Red Hot Chilli Peppers' -'I'm With You'.

The way in which the front cover of this album has been produced is amazing, even thought it's so simple the way in which it has been laid out creates a huge effect and draws you in. I love the way that the fly has landed on a drug look alike with the words of the album 'I'm With You', this shows promotion and the way this is all upon a pure white background which draws attention to the fly; it is very simple yet so appealing to us as the customers. Next is the back cover, the back cover provides you with a list of the songs in which are on the album, a barcode and several other things. Even though there is not a lot on the cover it is still effective and makes people want to buy it, this is better than it being overloading and looking like it's all de-arranged and bundled together. The actual CD of the album is linked to and is practically the same as the back cover which makes it clear and simple.
