practise digipak

During the summer, we did a practise digipaks.
Here is mine.
I was aiming for a "Hipster" type digipak. 
The use of glitter, triangles, nebula and cats are something that are directly linked with the hipster style. The track listing, also conforms to the hipster style and has a direct reference to films in the hipster style.
Song titles such as "Cellar Door", "Grandma Death", "Lucid Dreaming" are all direct references to the popular cult film, Donnie Darko.
"Kurt Lives" is Kurt Vonnegut who is an American writer who wrote, "Slaughterhouse-Five" and many others; he was known for his humanist beliefs.
Even though it was just a practise digipak, a lot of work was put in to ensuring and conveying the hipster style. As we didn't have a song to work from, we didn't have a genre, so instead we decided to go for a certain style in which the genre type was suggested, but not set in stone.

I did a 6 panel digipak as I felt that there should be equal amount of coverage for each member as even though there is a lead singer, they are both equal and they are both the front women of the band.
I found adding text to a background without a consistant colour all through very, very difficult as with many text colours, it didn't show up, or they blended with the background making it very difficult to read. I also had some trouble with the placement of text and getting both Jasmine and myself on the front cover without cutting a lot of body parts off.
From this I have learnt that perhaps a plain background is the better option, and the artist being in the centre because it then allows the person editing to move the artist from left to right, right to left or which ever way they want the placement. We plan on doing  a photoshoot for the our current digipak and we will take in consideration these factors.
