Flat Plans

These are the two flat plans for the front, back and spine of a cd digi pack. We came up with the first idea by looking at other original CD covers. The covers we looked at all involved an image as the main focus of the cover in which we liked the idea of. On the first cover flat plan we liked the idea of having newspaper text as a background throughout the whole pack as we thought from The Libertines cover were the title is in cut up text from magazines or newspapers. We also liked that idea and would like to try it out for out title. The back cover of the first flat plan, we had the idea of using like a notebook style then having a list of the songs on the album listed on to it so it looks quite 3d. The second flat plan is a slightly different layout to the first as not the image is not in the centre of the cover, its more to the right hand side of the cover as we thought the title would look good going across the image similar to the Sex Pistols cover. Again on this one we would carry over the idea of using the newspaper print as the background.    

This is a basic idea to what we would use for the inside of our cd cover. We decided we didn't want so much going on on the inside as that is where the cd will be. We liked the idea of the inside being two photos of the members joined together on each side as then there is not a lot going on. The only other thing that we would add in is a short bit of text on the left side cover. Or If we were to make a little book to go in with the lyrics and images inside.   

These two above are basic flat plans for magazine advertisements. These are the things you would see inside a magazine when a cd is about to be released. The two we have made are similar to the the two covers that we have made as we wanted to keep the 'trademark' recognisable. We have also kept the idea very simple as again we don't want to much going on as if there was it would look over crowded and take the advertisements purpose away. All we have put on it is the band name, images and the release information on the cd.
