Initial Ideas

For the cover of our digipak we are considering using a shot that is in our video as it is simple and also fits with the general imagery used on Supergrass products. We are going to use a gate fold design which we can either create ourselves or find a template for on the internet. The front cover is going to have the main image on it along with the title of the album and SUPERGRASS designed in photoshop. When you open the Digipak there will be a CD on the left hand panel and directly facing you an emblem that we are going to design. When you then open it completely there will be four pictures on the middle panel, one of each band member (us) and possibly a short description or piece of writing underneath each. There will also be another CD on the right hand panel. On the back of the digipak there will be the track listings and the information about the DVD.

Supergrass' album covers are generally very simple with minimal writing on the front. Their name is always in capital letters no matter what style the writing is in and we intend to make sure we keep to this element of their advertising. Bright colours are also often used most probably because they catch people attention although this is more evident in the magazine adverts rather than on Digipaks. Most of Supergrass' covers also show at least one band member on it somewhere whether it's a cartoon or photograph and using an image of Adam on the sofa sticks to this.

This is the general design we intend to use for our digipak however because we're including two discs rather than one inner panel 1 will hold another CD. Also, one of the folds will need to be twice as thick as the other to accommodate for the extra disc.

We are also now considering making an illustration of the picture we want to use for our front cover and placing it over the top of a redy-brown textured background which will be used as the background colour over the whole digipak.
