Draft Digipak panel analysis:

The front cover is has a black and white background with a black and white main image as well. The title Josh U R still exists in the right lower corner, and appears in its intended colours, and now serves as a colour contrast to the background to make the two stand apart from each other. There are various changes from the intended draft front cover and this one. The intention was to have a gradient black to white background with a front image of half my face in front of the black, and a sketch design in front of the white part of the background, with the title Josh U R to appear in the lower right background. The sketch no longer features on the front cover, and has been moved to the lyrics page. The image of my face has now been enlarged to cover the entire front cover, and has been featured in colourless fashion. The title has remained in this version of the draft cover, but the U and the R have now been combined into one symbol as part of an idea I had during production.

The back cover of the Digipak album perhaps had the most thought and development contributed. The general layout and structure I intended for the back cover back in the sketch has been maintained. The most notable recent changes in production of the back cover included removal of the subhead ‘track list’, the resizing of the content at the bottom, so the size of each property on the back cover appears life-like and now the back cover actually appears like it’s the back cover of an album. Also, the barcode has changed position and an artist logo has been added to the cover.

This is the first inside panel, it appears as one of the 3 houses on my road that I have tried to use as a substitute for a panorama camera shot.

This is the second inside panel. The circle inside this panel is a demonstration of where the CD will be inserted. As you can see, the background continues from the previous inside panel, as part of my panorama shot attempt.

This is the third inside panel, and the final one to contain the attempted panorama shot effect. While the implication that the background continues from one panel to the next is clear, the continuation of the image is not accurate or straight. Part of my job in progression towards the final version of the Digipak is to replace these images with those that actually belong to single filmed panorama shot, which I can use to more accurately produce an image that can continue from panel to panel. Some research into panorama shots may be necessary.

Here is the 6^th panel, the panel which would feature the lyrics. While the layout is certainly neat and effective, the fact remains that most album lyrics pages do not feature the lyrics of only a single song in the album. Either lyric to every song in my track list must be written up and inserted into the lyrics page, or I use this page for something other than the write-up of song lyrics.
