Digi Pak Behind CD Creating

I've started creating my digi pak for my music video.
For behind the CD case I wanted to use sweets as these are childish, and Haribo are often related to children.
In my orginal plan I was going to use liquorice strips to make birds, like on the front picture, however I could not find any of these at the time so decided to put some teddy bears in there instead. This was better as it included more colour and thats definitely what I wanted.

Instead of creating the sweets on the computer I took pictures on plain white background.

This is how I orginally led them out, in the shape of a CD and the egg in the middle.
However the shading on the background made it look quite dirty, so I decided to cut each sweet out and apply it onto a plain white background. This also meant I could move the sweets around.

After doing this my result was.. .

Draft 1  

Heres my first draft of under the CD case, I added the drop shadow to give it more depth, but I think that it looks a bit plain. I might experiment with different backgrounds which may give it more character.

Digipak Research

Kate Nash

This digipak has hugely influenced mine. It has a wide shot of a house, which is similiar to the house I want drawn on my digipak.

The image looks surreal as it has been created on the computer. The colours are bright, and you can see Kate Nash, the artist, in red so shestands out.

The font is simple and immitates hand written text. Following the conventions of childhood. Just like mine!!

Vincent Vincent and The Villains

Here, they have gone for the scruffy text, and a feel of hand drawn stripes.

They have also combined computer text, on top of a picture, just like my design (without the computer text!)

Jason Mraz

This is similar to the Kate Nash digipak. The font is simple and looks handwritten. The picture is drawn, again something I'd like to feature in mine. It isn't anything jazzy and could show he thinks music is more important than the glossy outfits and fame!
