Digipak brainstorm 7-1-11

Today during our media lesson me, Charlotte and Sophie began brainstorming ideas for one of our ancillary tasks - the digipak. We all had similar ideas to each other so it was easy to come to a decision of what we wanted to do. We want our digipak to look as professional as possible and be typical of a girl band so we have decided that we want either a full or mid length shot of the 4 of us standing together doing a typical 'girl band pose'.

The first idea we had was to use a black background and have each

girl posing next to each other wearing a different brightly coloured dress. The colours we want to use are red, blue, green and yellow - although I don't think this will be possible as we may not be able to find these colour dresses. We think this will stand out well and draw attention to the digipak because of the bright colours. As of yet we haven't thought about any fonts or colours for the text but are focusing on getting the right image. We are trying to find some-one with good photography skills to take some pictures for us preferably using a studio and a high quality camera. We intend on using photo shop to create the black background if we are not able to us one.

Our second idea which is a plan B I suppose is to use a white

background and have us all in black dresses with either black heels or different coloured heels. We really like the picture on the right of girls aloud although I don't think we would be able to create an image like this as easy and it will be hard to make look professional. We are planning on having glamorous hair and make-up to make us look like a real girl group as much as possible. We have an initial idea for what our production companies logo will look like although we have not yet thought of names. We want the logo to be in the shape of a high heels with the name of the record company slanting down the heel.

For the inside of the digipak we have come up with the idea to split the bit opposite where the CD will be into 4 box sections. In each box will be an individual image of each girl (taken at the same time as the front cover so it says in the theme) and a sort of fact file on each girl. With things like 'what their favourite food is' and personal information included underneath each picture. This is all we have brainstormed so far and is not a definite as we still need to speak to our other team member Laura who missed today's lesson as she was ill.
