Outfit used for digipak and advertisement

The reason I choose to use this choice of clothing for my artists image was mainly because it was used in our music video, in the studio and I thought it would be useful to keep similar conventions also I like the choice of clothing as it it quite plain and simple but still stands out especially since the background of my advert and digipak is black.  

Fonts and layouts

I HAVE RESEACH FONTS AND LAYOUTS SO I CAN HAVE MANY TO CHOOSE FROM TO PICK THE BEST ONE SUITED FOR MY CD COVER . WITH THE LAYOUT I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE PURPLE AND TO TRY AND ACCOMPLISH THE THEMES ABOVE ESPECIALLY THE TINCHY STRDER COVER WHICH STOOD OUT FOR ME .

Do's and Dont's.

Do's.

• Clear font so the audience know exactly what they're buying.
• The design of digipak relates to the genre and the house style
• Include: Barcodes, copyright symbols, catalogue number etc

DONT'S.

• Do not use text that is difficult to use.
• A design that is too complex.
• Place text over the artists face.
