Beforehand my inspiration was Yasmin's album with the coloured paintbrush effect. However I spent a lot of time trying to find a font and realised that none worked well against the pictures I had taken of my artist. I have therefore researched into a similar artist, Jessie Ware, and have found that her style is much more appealing and fits with the same genre as mine. She has used only black and white throughout the digipak which gives off a professional look. I like how the cover is quite simplistic by just stating the name of the artist and the name of the album and the fact that the image of Jessie has been edited to show that there is light up towards her face. The image makes her look very sophisticated, and would even work well standing alone on the cover. The back of the album follows the same theme of simplicity as the track list is listed centrally in a clear bold font with a thick white border around it. This makes her album look well-structured which gives a good impression of her as an artist.
After searching through the fonts on Microsoft Word I found a similar font to Jessie Ware's called 'Letter Gothic Std' as shown below. I think this works well with the name Milly Evans and could be used as a running theme throughout the digipak.
MILLY EVANS
After finding this font I thought it would be appropriate to make a draft album cover to see if the font and the image work well together. It has proved to be successful and I will therefore use this in my digipak.
