Feedback for Initial Digipaks

We designed three initial digipak's with different ideas/layouts on them. We then presented these to the rest of the class to receive feedback on them and to see which were good ideas. 
- Only have either the album name or the single name not both.
- Involve more of the narrative. 
- Name it Summer of 69 as then you can include narrative parts.
- Pictures in the style of a photo album on the inside panels.

Digipak Idea 1
Front Panel of the Digipak
The front panel has the lead singer at the bottom of the frame with a small picture of the main narrative character towards the top left. It then has the album name, single name and artist name around the edges.
Back Panel of the Digipak
The back panel of the digipak shows the lead singer leant up against an amp with his iconic guitar on the other side of the amp.

People said that they liked the idea for the back panel of the digipak. With the lead singer leant up against the amp and his guitar on the other side. We would have tracklisiting written over the picture and then production information at the bottom of the panel. We wouldn't have both the album name and the single name as this isn't a convention of rock digipaks and also makes the front look cluttered.

Digipak Idea 2
 Front Panel of Digipak
The front of the digipak only includes the artists name in capital letters. This is because many of Bryan Adams digipaks are in capital letters too, as well as many other rock ones. The image is of the lead singer with his arms in the air which shows his confidence and enjoyment of the song.
Inside Panels for Digipak
The inside would have an image of the whole band, i think that this is iconic as the music video includes a lot of footage of the band members. At the bottom of the left panel there would be the websites.
Back Panel for Digipak
On the back panel there would be the tracklisting, barcode, production info which are all generic conventions of digipaks. It also keeps the digipak simple without overcrowding it.

People said that they liked the idea of the lead singer with this pose on the front cover. This is also because it is a generic convention for rock digipaks of having the artist up-close and confident.

Digipak Idea 3
Front Panel of Digipak
The front panel has an extreme close up of the lead singers face.
Inside Panels of Digipak
 Back Panel of Digipak 

People thought that its a good idea to have the barcode and production information on the back of the digipak as this is where it is conventially found.
