Digipak - Collecting Ideas

As part of our coursework, we have to create a digipak; a digipak is the packaging for the CD. The digipak needs to be a visual representation of the song/album, whilst also being eye-catching and memorable. Additionally, the digipak should have similar aesthetic qualities to the music video of the song featured on the CD. Therefore, we have decided to obtain some ideas for our digipak, as this will help us in the long term, and also in the short term; by having an idea of what we want to include, we can take the necessary photographs on location and even begin to piece together the elements of the digipak prior to the completion of our music video.
One source of images that we hope to inspire us is coverdude.com. This website is an online resource that hosts numerous pieces of artworks of not only CDs, but DVDs, video games and other media.
One cover that is classic, and therefore potentially iconic, is Adele's artwork for her album '21'.

The front and back cover of the digipak is stunning and consequently intriguing. This is something my group will be hoping to achieve. The bold colour used on the disk differs from the remainder of the digipak, showing that continuity is not fundamental to a successful product.
A further source of inspiration we used was deviantart.com, which is an art-based social networking site, where people upload their art work for all to see.

The above image is an idea we could take into consideration. The simplicity of the image is striking and it could be interpreted several ways. Additionally, the image is replicable, meaning that we would not have to gain expensive resources or travel to a specific location to recreate this image or something similar.

The above two images are beautiful in both subject matter and composition. Using photographs similar to these would be in keeping with our music video, as we aim to shoot using this vintage-esque style.
