ancillary planning: list of fonts, colors and design for digipak



I am going to talk about some font ideas i have chosen,colors and the overall design for my digipak. I am also going to talk about where some of my ideas came from.  I have have chosen my final font which is similar to Ed Sheeran fonts used on his albums. I found it is a really good font to use and since Ed Sheeran is our original artist it is even better. i decided to have the Artist name and album title the same font. I first went through most commonly used fonts such as times new roman and Arial but found they were to formal to be on a album cover.





Here are a list of other fonts i picked out:














After deciding to use EdSsheerans font i had to find out what the font was. I used a website called Dafont it is a very useful websites with a huge range of fonts.Ed Sheerans album font looked like a sort of type writer font which i typed into the search and i found the font used  and it offered me the writing of my title in 4 different shades.


Colors:
The color i am going to used are going to blue,red black and grey as many songs such as The City in the album or emotional. i want the color code to be quite simplistic but effective. For example below is an album cover of a indie pop group called "The ting ting"  as you can see it uses a small  range of colors blue, black red and yellow which is similar to my chosen color code. The title of the band stands out very clearly and the colours go very well together.

The design/layout of my digipak:
I want my digipak to have a font and back with to inside pockets. I want two pictures one zooom in and one mid of the artitst. i want the front just to have the artist name and title so main focus is the artist.i want the track list on the back and inside i small paragraph about the artist.
