Individual ideas for the digipak and website. (Ancillary work)

In today's lesson, we had to come up with group ideas as well as individual ones. We have a blog post where we say what our group ideas are for both the digipak and the website. 

I am going to write my individual ideas as well as post flatplans at the end of this blog post. 

DIGIPAK

I have thought about handwritten font. For example: 

I was inspired by the album cover of the original artist, Gabrielle Aplin. 

However, I also like Birdy's website. She is a similar artist from the same genre. The font used is called Blake. 

I would like to use this font because I think it is different from the handwritten that might have been overused. However, there are a lot of types of handwritten fonts. Therefore, I might use a handwritten font in order to follow the genre conventions and the blake font to make it a little bit different. 

For colours, we as a group thought about earthy and muted colours. 

I like the idea of using muted colours. However, Nina Nesbitt (a similar artist from folk genre) has her album cover in black and white with pink letters. 

Her album cover has inspired me to do something similar. 

My idea for the digipak:

I would like to have a medium long shot of our artist, River, in the centre of the album cover with a guitar. She has the bowler hat but she is throwing it and we can see the bowler hat at the back of the album cover. In this way, the front cover connects to the back cover. The name River would be bigger than the album's title. 'River' would be at the top right corner and the album's title in the middle of the cover, above the picture. 

WEBSITE

The first idea for the website was to have an image of the artist and her artistic name, then a bottom where you scroll down and have the home page. I like the idea, but looking at similar artists' websites such as Gabrielle Aplin, Nina Nesbitt and Birdy, they all have a picture of themselves and the home page together. Therefore I will stick to that pattern.
