Final Digital Booklet Ideas

Below is our final idea for the digital booklet. As you can see, there are many similarities between our pilot idea, although we made some changes through production:

1. As you can see, we have kept to the same template. The front cover shows the girl in the right hand corner again, with the corner of her head - her forehead and eye. However, we scrapped the idea for a cartoon brain as it made the cover appear too cluttered and overwhelming. Also, the colour's did not match the rest of the colour theme
2. The thunder bolts are still used on the cover, with flashy, brightly colours to add to a fun theme, complimenting the artist's personality and funky music. There are smaller thunder bolts in order to not stress the image, although we feel the larger one compliments the picture well.
3. In relation to this, this thunderbolt is a signal to the artists name. It directly points at it, giving an illusion of lighting it up. We have chosen the same fancy font for 'Kirsty MacColl', in order to stick to the same iconography. In relation to the font, the titles in the bubble are pink and shiny, to compliment the title as well as vary from the bleaker colours, so show a more girly, pop-music theme for the front cover
4. The background follows the synergy of the black-and-white polka dot theme, complimenting the girly motif. This can be recognised on both this and the poster, achieving our main goal of synergy.
5. The colours contrast on this, although it works well as it shows a range of the artist's music, showing a variation. However, they compliment girly stereotypes, falling well into pop music

The back cover includes:

1. The same motif black-and-white polka dot background
2. The use of the left and right images of the girl artist, as used on the poster. This shows a variation between her personalities. This falls alongside the use of the tracks in the centre of the case, with a grey block background and black font to avoid morphing into the all over black background. The titles and images fall well together, to show variation in music
3. We have, once again, used the same iconography for the artist's font on the back. We have used the same italic, red font to contrast with the background. The compliments the images on the background, with it being italic to add a twist, rebelling from the typical horizontal font. On top of this, we decided to use the lip print on the back cover again, although it was barely visible next to the title, so therefore we have placed it on the opposite side, although on a tilt. Therefore, everything on the back cover is in symmetry and works well together.
4. We have also placed the traditional bar code, as said, on the cover, to add to realistic CD covers.

The opposite cover:

1. This is dark grey, to contrast slightly from the black background. We used the same italic bold font for 'Thank You', although in pink to add to the pink lipstick colour, compared to the red colour used repeatedly in 'Kirsty MacColl'. We didn't have enough time to add a speech to the 'thank you' area, although we inserted a large lip mark to converge with the pop, girl-like theme.

The binder:

1. The binder features our original ideas of featuring the artist's name and title. We have displayed this in white font to contrast with the black background, as well as fall alongside the black and white, background theme.
   

Above is our inside ideas for our cover. These aren't as complex in ideas, but we have managed to stick to our original ideas:

1. The two left hand side covers of plain grey, due to a flap being made to cover these up, to reveal the 'thank you' on the opposite side
2. The right hand side reveals where the CD disk will be held. However, if you remove the disk, you can see an image of the trademark red heels, reflecting synergy between a single and the album that it is released from.
