Digipak Test Idea

After coming up with an initial idea, I tested out what it would look like on Paint, taking about half an hour per panel. I like the general idea I have come up with as it combines the main things that I liked about the previous Hoosier albums; the mysterious and magical nature of The Trick To Life and the representation and images of the band in the other two covers.

I think this idea works out really nicely as it suits the band's style and their album well, using the font and facial expressions.
Some things I may look to improve upon are making the background a bit more exciting and perhaps changing the colour of the text from black to a mix of or brighter colours.

The inside cover and CD are a different colour to the front and back covers to give the person a different style to look at. In the inside cover is an image of the band laughing, as if they had finished doing the semi-serious photo from the cover and can now joke around again. This helps to better represent the band and their style and gives a nice effect on the viewer. I have seen this done before in my Stereophonics digipak analysis and I felt the effect was good enough to try and replicate.

The CD similarly keeps the same style as the back cover while changing background colour, however keen eyed viewers will notice that the magic related props have changed from random to what the band are using on the cover. I think this adds a clever touch and fits in with the album style quite well, while providing a little 'easter egg' for viewers that notice it.
