Final Draft of digipak!

This is my draft version of my digipak and the real one will not be much different. The front cover which is located in the bottom right of the digipak is inspired from Pusha T's album called Exodus 23:1 (i have posted a picture of it on my blog so you can see how it inspired me to make mine how it is). It is a very plain cover with just a blakc background and a bit of text on it but that text stands out so well. I liked this about the album and so used the same idea on mine and i think this is the stronger point of my digipak and links it well to the genre also because of the chain and the Parental Advisory Lyrics that most Hip Hop album covers have. The name of my album is one that i have not justified but have left it to the audience and buyers of the album to decide as it has 2 meanings and both of them are key to the digipak itself and the genre. It can either be 'number 1' or 'no one' which shows that he is number 1 and also there is no one better or no one can defeat him.
The picture of Jay Z, is going to be replicated by the artist of our music video and i have used this picture as i think it fits well with the digipak and the genre. Most hip hop digipaks have the artist on it and their facial expressions being angry and showing power.
The track list and the back of the digipak,which is located in the centre between the picture of Jay Z and the album cover. I have seen that type of layout of many hip hop album covers and the colour scheme is the same as the one on the front cover which relates them. I have also go the copyright logo at the bottom and a capital P which again i have seen on numerous hipn hop digipaks so took the idea from there. I was also advised to have the record label my artist is under this makes it look more professional and the colour of it links to the colour scheme which was a bonus.
The top right hand corner of the digipak is just random i put together but this immitates the layout that i will use on the real digipak. Them letters will be a long thank you paragraph to people involved and somewhere in there will be a thank you to god as most Hip Hop albums have this. There is usually a lot of people invloved hence the small font.
Finally, the random patter in the top left hand corner links more to the poster than the digipak but it may need removing as it does look a bit random although it does link well with the colour scheme and also looks good on the digipak.
