Print Task Research

In order to create a realistic and proffesional digi pak design I have had to research into them and see whats generally included and what styles are used for the acousitc/folk genre.

Newton Faulkner

These are some CD designs and also a CD its self for Newton Faulkner. What I have discovered from my research is that the same style is carried out on all of the print work for the same artist. These examples are entropic and also quite quirky. They do not contain an image of the artist him self and there for go against the theory that arists are now a days only selling themselves and not focusing on their music, but in this case Newton Faulkner is not on any of his print products.

This also applies to another acoustic/folk artist I have research called Kate Rusby.

Again, her print designs take on the same idea and style for each CD. This time the style is cartoon based and again the artist her self is not present on the actual Digi Pak. Another example of artists using the same approach to print tasks is Laura Marling, also an acoustic artist.


Again her CD covers are all recognisable in the sense that they belong to the same artist. Unlike the examples above Laura Marling is actually featured in this CD cover above, but instead of have a highly edited image of herself in the centre of the cover she has used a black and white drawing of her self instead, again creating this unusual and unique desgin.
