A lot of the singles from Bombay Bicycle Club appear to all have a very similar pattern to them - 4 boxes and 4 similar pictures within them, so i thought it would be a good idea to do my Digipak in a similar way. So on Adobe illustrator I attempted to replicate the boxes.
So first there were a few things I had to learn on illustrator before I could get started, so I got my sister to teach me a few things, for example how to cut images and add an effect to them, so for mine I noticed there is alot of grain on their album covers so I thought it would be good to know how to do that for mine;
And then I began to create the necessary shapes for my potential album cover
And so when I got the shape of I wanted it was time to choose the necessary colours for it, so I watched my video through and tried to pick out the three colours that are prominent within it. Which i felt were blue, red and purple, so I tried it out;
However these colours did not so I experimented a bit more to figure out which colours looked go;
When I found the right colours it was time to add something in the four boxes, jut to test it I thought of the glasses Ollie wore when he sings the song;
And then I found a font that I thought would be good and then downloaded it an added it;
Overall I thought this could be something really good for my ancillary work, with maybe something different and a bit more creative than the glasses in the boxes and maybe different colours. However it might be an issue as I don't know how similar it is aloud to be to the original album cover, so that is something I will ask my teacher.
