Digipack - Planning

We have decided on what our digipack will consist of, we aim to have a front cover, back cover, and a booklet that slots inside the album, which contains a list of all the song lyrics. As a group we looked at a variety of album covers, which also included a booklet. We discovered that all of these contain, song lyrics for each song included in the album,  who wrote the songs and various pictures of the artist on each page. Beyonce's booklet had pictures posed purely for the album, but also had links to her upcoming tour which, like the album, was called 'I am Sasha Fierce'. We felt that we should include pictures of the music video we have created, we are not linking the video to the front and back cover, but as we plan for 'faces going places' to be Jose Vanders establishing song and video as an artist, we thought it would be relevant to include pictures from the video in the booklet to have something that consumers can relate to.

- We took a number of pictures when filming our video for the digipack, so we already have a number to chose from. 

We looked at Pixie Lott's album. She too had a booklet inside her CD, also containing song lyrics, the writers of the various songs, and a number of pictures of herself - the artist. She has used the 'x' in her name 'pixie' as a signature symbol, it appears on both the front cover, CD and in the booklet. I thought we should take this into consideration for our artist, especially as she is being introduced into the music industry. It gives her a signature symbol that consumers will remember her by and associate with her. I felt this couldn't be something random, and for the sake of it, so I thought about things we included in her video, and what we plan to include in her digipack, such as - cupcakes, a piano, teapots, scones etc. One of Pixie Lott's pages in the booklet, was a number of pictures, all of her personal life and her backround, such as school pictures, pictures with friends and family and holidays. We decided that we would like to do this too, as we have always planned for Jose Vanders to be relatable to the audience, and down to earth.

- As I am the artist, I have looked through many pictures from my personal life and picked ones which I felt would be suitable for the booklet, and maintained the image of Jose Vanders. We also took a few in school, again to ensure Jose Vanders' image remained.
