Some of the planning for our Digipack altered in the process of development, at the moment our plans seem non existant. Me personally, I think that I would like to follow the style of famous Hip Hop artists that have had iconic CD covers and Digipacks, Lil Wayne for example. I found his CD cover including a photo of him as a child, with edited shots of his iconic tattoos placed onto the baby, similarly creating a play on words with his artist name of 'Lil Wayne' Lil representing little, and the photo of a young child created the iconic collaboration.
Other CD covers such as LiL Wayne's other CDs and Nas have used iconis photos of younger children collaborated with a state of presence, for this instance to the right, the editing effect showing the urban location behind the child, indicating this is where the artist lived and grew up, or to where his present location is.
Another idea which I really think looks effective on the front of a Hip Hop CD or Digipack is the photo of the artists face or body, having a lot of editing to it to make it look artistic and effective. The CD covers of Drake, T.I and Eminem have really stood out to me, and I think that if we could create an image similar to this, with a lot of editing, ours could look similar.
We intend to take a photo of a male face, preferably someone with peircing/tattoos visable (similar to other Hip Hop Artists) and to transform the photo into an edited style similar to above.
