Proposal for CD design

1. Outline the game / artiste / band that you are creating the design.  What / who is it similar to? What Genre is it?  

The design for my album cover will be based around the singer Gabrielle Aplin. The image used for her album is very simple but stands out from any other albums. Although I am basing the cover around a solo artiste, I will 

2. What is the name of the product?  Does this have an impact on the design in any way?

The name of the product will be 'nevaeh'. This will have an impact on the design because nevaeh is heaven backwards. This means that the colour scheme will be relaxed and use pale/pastel colours. This also matches how the music is on the album.  

3. Discuss the theme/feeling of the album and how this will impact on the visuals. 

The inspiration for my album is Gabrielle Aplin. Her music is usually acoustic, slow and folk/indie. Her music is usually quite depressing which will mean that there will be images such as clouds or rain on the cover. I will also use colours such as blue because people relate this colour with sadness rather than happiness. 

4. Discuss the colour scheme that you are using.  

I will use pale/ pastel colours such as pale blue, pink and orange. These colours are a mix of warm and cool as I want the colour scheme to be subtle. The colours used for the backgrounds, and images will be unsaturated as this creates a subtle colour scheme.

5. Will you stay with conventions or steer away? Why? What has been omitted.

I will mostly follow the main conventions of the digipack. I will place the institutional conventions such as the barcode, websites and track list on the back. I want to keep the front of the digipack mainly images and little text as I want to keep the relaxed feeling that I am trying to portray.
