Digipak Front Cover - First Draft

After completing the editing and cropping for the front cover photo we then carried on to adding the other features that would make our front cover look professional and of a high standard.

We browsed a font webiste (dafont.com) to find a few samples of suitable fonts. When selecting our fonts, we were looking to find a font that was modern, quirky and youthful. We also wanted a font that was clear and easy to read and that would stand out against our background.


These were a few of our favourites;


















We trialed all of these fonts on our finished picture and chose the one that was clearest and we thought looked the best and suited the persona of the band.

Our final choice was 'Love Ya Like A Sister' as the title font which looked like this...

Next, we decided to use a completely different font for the album title text as we didnt want the cover to look bland, as its the most important element of a CD as its what the audience look at first and use to form an opinion on the band.
We used the 'Sasquatch' font that we previously found as the album title font as we thought it was jagged, bold and edgy. It turned out like this...

After figuring out our fonts we then put them on the picture we had edited for the cover
