Inspiration for insert

I have been inspired to create an unconventional layout for my insert. I have decided to use a two fold booklet insert that has the lyrics and credits on one side and a poster on the other. The advantage of this insert is the poster, as this is a free piece of fan 'merchandise' for the audience and also could promote publicity if it was displayed.
Here are some photographs of the London Grammar album insert which uses this format.

Photoshoot for Digipak

I have completed a photo shoot for my digipak. As my music video held strong links and featured a large amount of imagery surrounding the sea and waves I have decided to continue this theme through to my digipak. This will help the audience associate my music video with this project, and with the use of synergy create a more professional look to the overall production. To really keep this consistency I had originally thought to take screenshots from my music video. However I found that the quality of the screenshots was just too low to produce a graphic/image of a high enough standard for me.

  Therefore I decided to take new photographs that would be of a high quality. I shot these photographs in the same location as I filmed my music video, to again keep consistency. Wells-next-the-sea beach provides a very good location for photographs as it holds a large flat and sandy expanse that provides very graphic shots. I chose a time of around 4:30 in the evening as I wanted to capture a softer lighting upon the waves. To try and keep my shots very similar to that of my music video I kept the photographs mainly tightly focused on the waves and the water crashing against the shore to mimic those shots of my music video. I am happy with the shoot as I feel with these images I have a good scope to take aspects and create a suitable, interesting and professional looking graphic for my digipak.

Here is a comparison of a few shots from my music video along side the shots from my new photo shoot for my digipak.

Looking into fonts

 
I have been researching fonts for my digipak. I have used www.dafont.com to experiment with different styles and designs in typography. I mainly took examples from the sans serif section as I prefer a clean cut style that offers a much more simplistic look. I also have found in my research that many artists within the genre/with similar target audiences use a clean, simplistic style with sans serif font. Here are a few I have looked at in greater depth;
