below are the drawn drafts of the DIGI paks, before and after feedback from audiences and artist himself, the information is all on the pictures itself.

| DIGI PAK |
How was it made?
each panel was designed on Photoscape, then pasted onto a DIGI-PAK template on photoshop!![]() |
| ABOVE: using photoscape to change a photo into a threshold image of the artist! |

| ABOVE: the digi pak template in photoshop! |
to complete the digi pak i simply had to make 6 designs, one for each panel on photoscape, and paste them over in photoshop.
Front cover:
its done the way it is becuase it was based on artist feedback, he wanted it simple, and he liked the idea of the "explicit content" sticker on the front cover. its red because its typical of the genre to be "vibrant" and to stand out, the background is white because it helps make the artist's threshold image stand out
Back cover:
it says KINGSTA in red and white graffiti, purely to match the colour scheme, and because graffiti is typical of the grime genre
CD panel:
the panel which will hold the CD, has Kingsta's main logo, the fist. which was another factor brought out from audience and artist research!
Inside front cover:
is a picture of Kingsta in a suit, so people get to know more about the artist in a sense that there's more to him than a hoodrat which is typical of the genre
Inside back cover:
is a track playlist of the tracks in the CD with a picture of Docklands skyline, which subtly gives more info about the artist in a sense that he is from around "these ends"
inside back panel:
its a picture saying "grime", to clearly state to people that this is a grime album, i have seen other grime albums which have incorporated this, like JME and WILEY, who have "GRIME" written on their covers, or UK GRIME, purely to emphasise their genre.
The reason why this is so simple, is becuase it was done to be more eye-catching, as eye-catching albums sell! its different to other albums typical of this genre in a sense that none i've seen have been done like how i have. and it will lead audiences on to find out more about the artist on the website!



Very good final digipak design - but you should put it in a post by itself so that it is easy to find. What you need to alter are the 'drafts' because these are exactly the same as those on Rimshaw's blog - though you are working together, we expect the digipaks to be INDIVIDUAL designs.
