Planning Ancillary products: Short list of fonts, colours, layout and design ideas



Some potential Fonts that I considered using for my digipak are:

  • Raja Drama 
  • Meiryo
  • Sierra Madre 
  • Gulim 
  • Lucida Grande
In the end I have decided that the font I am going to use for my digipak will be Raja Drama. This font will be used consistently throughout my digipak, mostly for the artists name and the albums name. However, for the special thanks and spine I am going to use smaller, clearer writing so that the small print can be read but the two fonts will be consistent with each other. 


Colours I considered using in my digipak are: 
  • White
  • Black

Also, for my colour scheme I have decided to keep it fairly simple and in the end decided just to use the colour white for my writing as the pictures that are going to be used in my digipak are already quite strong and colourful so any bright colour such as red or yellow would not stand out against the pictures so I have opted to use white as it is a neutral colour that will not contrast with my pictures. 

The layout of my digipak will be of a 2 panel CD digipak. The first two panels will act as the front and the other two as the back cover as I wanted to have a fairly simple CD design.


I am going to be using pictures that we had taken when we were filming and also grab some screenshots of the artist from the music video as the shots were very clear, in focus and have great potential for use in the digipak. My design is going to be sticking to 3 particular outfits the artist wore in the music video that all compliment each other and would not contrast too harshly if I was to use them in my digipak.  These pictures will be from our days of filming at Kings Cross, Angel, Camden and Banksy Tunnel.
