Album digipack draft/idea

This is the draft for our album cover and back of the album cover:

Front Cover

On the front cover we felt that we needed the main artist's faces to be presented to glorify themselves which is a very common thing to do especially in this genre (Hip Hop). The reason for the one of the artists faces to be above the other and facing the other way is because we wanted it to have a resemblance to a playing card layout which links to our video. We emphasised the first letters in 'Holy' and 'Grail' to help enforce an abbreviation to allow audiences to easily recognise the title from those two letters alone.

Back Cover


This was the draft that we created for the back of the album and it features the two artists (Ahsan on the left and Muzzy on the right) displaying their torso. We thought this would be effective because it would portray the contrast between the two. One is sophisticated and stylish and the other is more ghetto and casual which suits their personalities perfectly and we feel that this would be expressed well with this image. The back will also display the songs that will be on the album and the Record company that produced it (we used platinum records as an example).

Seeing as we had not had much experience using Photoshop we had to use very useful YouTube videos to guide us. Videos like the one below were very useful for our particular task of blending images together on our album cover. Video was not created by me but it was used by the group and shows the resources that we used in the process of completing this digipak.
