As part of my planning for my digi-pack, i drew up some very basic designs of ideas. These can be seen below.

The first design is of a man stood up against a JCB on a building site. The back has the band members names to show who the song is by with a picture of a bin, to show the dirty environment they have grown up in. When opened up, there is a picture of a t-bar of beer's, used in bars to save space rather than having individual pumps. This is to link to the meaning of the song.

Feedback

• Lots going on and very eye catching
• Images fit the image of the band
• Names introduce the band to the public
• Would like to see more done with the band name and song title on front cover

For my second design, I wanted a professional looking album cover, and so there wasn't a phot used, rather an image of the lead singer, in front of a blue and beige background, with the name of the band and song wrote in big letters behind him. When opened up, the theme is continued with the disk tray and inside cover, which is all beige and blue apart from the band name and song title in small letters.

Feedback

• Colours contrast well to give an old style effect
• Lead singer maybe should be left out or the whole band should be used
• inside looks a little bare

For my final design, I really wanted to emphasize the pub nature described in the song. For the front cover, i chose to design a bandit typically found in English pubs, with a beer pump on the back cover. On the inside, there is the disk tray and a close up of a packet of crisps, which is a common pub snack. The design on the tray hasn't scanned well because I didn't make the pencil lines bold enough.

Feedback

• Theme relates to band and song well
• Too much empty space on the front cover
• Band and song name don't stand out enough
• Get rid of the empty space around the crisp packet
