Digipak Ideas

I took initial inspiration from the band's most recent album's colour scheme and also the colour scheme from a recent EP 'Stay Beautiful'

I began with the idea of making a black digipak with the pink/purple details, but the text did not stand out as I had liked, also another issue was also the .png image of the record label could not be accessed in another colour other than black, thus making it not visible. I know I want to make it minimalistic and simple with not many details such as New Found Glory's 'Resurrection Ascension'.

I found in many products that lyrics of the songs were found on either a pull out or on the inside cover of the digipak. This translated over many genres from Indie Rock, Singer/Songwriter and Punk. That's where I came up with the idea of having the lyrics somewhere on the digipak.

I don't want to use fonts that can be found on previous digipaks but instead fonts that have been used on merchandise.
