We are now starting to research aspects of digipak designs that we may include in our own design. We have focused on the idea of having many pictures/pattern on the digipak as it mirrors the many scenes and dances that the audience will be shown.
Our initial idea is having dance still frames with the different costumes used in the music video and placing them around the disc as the Gorillaz digipaks shows in the picture. The photos can be close up of the face or a larger shot with the posed body. The photos can be edited using photoshop and have an effect called threshold applied to it. The photos can differentiate by having different colours as the threshold - the photo of the man's face in the picture here has a black threshold.
The combination of the two would look something similar to the photo below. The colours of red, violent, yellow and light blue surrounds the disc and has a dark background making the overall look very colourful.
Another idea is effectively having a photo in a photo. The body in the small photo would have the same shape as the person in the whole photo but would show a super hero costume. This is a tempting idea because it symbolises the idea that a super hero lies in us all and we want to sometimes express that inner character - in our case by dancing.
You have been really busy editing in class (good job) but it is a week since you have posted, so I am grumbling again.
