Final Digipack - Ancillary Product (in production)

This are only screenshots of my digipack :

Front/Back cover

Inside cover

My Reflection :

• Well, i think the process is going well. I'm satisfied and confident with the front cover because it matches with the genre i'm focusing in. 
• At the beginning i had some issues with the pictures i used (in the front cover) because i wasn't following the rule : there shouldn't be any empty space over the artist's head. Therefore i placed the name of the artist over her head and made it bigger to fill up the space. While on the back of the front cover i made the image bigger without damaging the quality of it.   
•  Although i feel very indecisive when it comes to the inside cover, specially on the left had side where i have two profile's silhouette of Sarene facing each other : i feel that in some way it looks two much, but at the other hand i feel that it looks quite empty if i take them out. 

Improvements:

• Inside cover : the cd has a hole but in my inside cover it's not very clear because we can still see Sarene's hair : i have to make the little hole , the same colour as the background. 
• Inside cover: decide whether i'll use the silhouette of Sarene or not. I'll ask some of my target audience, opinions to help me. 
• Add copyright information on the cd and the companies logos. 

What I did today ?

• Today, i edited only the front panels of my digipack : 

1. made sarene's face more softer, so i removed some spots she had in the face. 
2. created the artist's name and album's name 
3. added a fade out of back to beige in the artist's name 
4. downloaded a nice, sophisticated font and colour for the album's name
5. made the back cover brighter, so the track list can be seen more clearly

How I Created The Album's Name

• Here, i show how i got the font and colour for the album's name (True Romance). I really like because it gives a girly, sophisticated look to the album.

Inside Digipak:

• Graphic Design : the visual style - font /colour/design established in the front cover has to be continued in the inside panels.
