Draft version of Digipak cover
After sketching and reviewing a few ideas of what I would like to use as the front of my Digipak, I decided to think about what was the best elements of the photo of the barbie doll covered in orange juice I took and expressed interest in using as a cover and thought how I could adapt and make some adjustments to it to allow for more of the artists promotion. In the sketch I produced above I wanted to adapt the chaotic look of the photo of the doll such as the toy soldiers surrounding and object covered in orange juice and confetti and add more of a computer theme to it. This time instead of surrounding a barbie doll I would like the soldiers to surround an old computer covered in orange juice and confetti just like the doll whilst projecting a glitchy version of the robots face. By utilising both chaotic and strange imagery with some computer theme added as well, this I feel would best summarise the theme and tone of my video on print, by representing its computer virus theme and its "random" visuals. In addition this strange imagery of toy soldiers surrounding a computer covered in orange juice and confetti can also represent the personality of the virus in my music video as this will show some of the effects it has as established in the video.
In addition, I was mainly when composing this Digipak design inspired by the graphics of old computer adverts. Particularly in how they place the computers within the canvas of the image to draw viewers attention almost instantaneously as well as the use of a simple dark to colour gradient for the background to further direct viewers gaze towards said product and also present them as futuristic by almost shining a spot light onto these products . One could argue that this would communicate at the time towards viewers how new and top of the range they were. I want to adapt some of these features for the front of my Digipak design using dark lighting around the computer and soldiers to reference the sort of sinister and mysterious theme of the hacker/scientist of my music video. Additionally this would also draw my viewers gaze towards the brighter and weirder image of the soldiers and robot imposed onto the computer. Moreover, by having a sort of spotlight on the Robot computer with the small soldiers surrounding it, this will do well in representing the Robot's importance as both a character in the music video as well as possibly promoting the Robot in turn as the artist.
