HAND DRAWN ALBUM DIGIPACK

After panicking about the legalities not looking professional enough for what it is representing, I looked into albums which have used a similar hand drawn style to mine in order to see how they present the barcode and legalities.

The album which I have looked at is The Mouldy Peaches which incorporates the hand drawn element throughout the magazines digipack. From the front cover it is easy to see that the cover is more hand drawn than mine (or is meant to look rougher and sketchier- like a collage)

The image shows how the insert has been created to give a hand drawn image. The font which has been used looks vert hand written which works well and links in with the rest of the digipack. Mine needs to all link well together in order to look like a completed product.

On the back of the digipack shows the track listing and the barcode. The track listing uses the same hand drawn font which has been used on the insert of the digipack. This, again, links in with the rest of the digipack and looks hand drawn which is obviously the look they were going for. I need to make sure that my digipack and poster both look like they go together and are both purposely hand drawn. The hand made look needs to be continued in all aspects of the digipack and poster, including in the text, images, background and legalities.  

INSPIRATION: SALLY COTTERILL

I have found an illustrator (Sally Cotterill) who designs many things in a hand drawn yet professional style. I am considering doing a hand drawn design within my poster and digipack. By looking at her work, it is clear to me that the images are more striking than a photo would be as they are a little bit different and interesting. As I would consider myself to be within the target market group, I would be attracted to these designs and this style of drawing and if I saw it on a poster or album cover then I would be intrigued by it. This shows that a hand drawn sketch would be good to use as it would have an impact on the intended audience. 

One of the things which I like the most about these images by this illustrator is that they look hand drawn however they are very professional. The hand made element is clear and is something which I would like to show within my poster and digipack. The colours which she uses are very girly which, again, is something I would need to copy as my intended target audience are female and would therefoe be attracted by feminine colours- such as the ones used in these images. The colours and style of drawing also show a vintage edge to the sketch which, again, is a look which I am aiming to achieve in my poster, digipack and (to some extent) my video.
