Final Draft of Digipak

I contemplated on my second draft and also looked back at questionnaire results and feedback and decided to make significant changes to my digipak's final album cover. Firstly I decided to change the covers main colour to a dark purple. The dark mood colour I felt reflected a more mature album cover, although our product will appeal to an older teenage audience rather than a younger. I felt it would better contrast the band name.
Furthermore I have added rhythm notes that would take up the complete background of the cover. This mimics Paramore's RIOT album cover that I used as inspiration. It also bears connotations to the band's name "Amber Rhythm" , the rhythm notes taking center stage. I removed the speech bubble due to the fact that I felt it took up too much room on the cover, but also it looked too harsh against the purple. I changed the image of the female artist but kept the cartoon effect in hoping to stick with the comic book connotations I used in the first two drafts. She is placed in amongst the rhythm notes. This symbolizes her involvement in the making of the album's music.
I finally used the by-line from my previous draft, but changed the colour of the font to silver to contrast more effectively with the purple. This made the font appear more like handwriting, making it personal but also it is a more stylish colour than the previous black.
