Why use this effect for digipak?

As seen before the black and white filter was inspired by Yasmin's album cover for 'Light Up The World'. I used a handwritten font that doesn't resemble graffiti too much so it doesnt completely alienate older audiences. Using graffiti could suggest vandalism and crime which contributes to the stereotype of young people being involved in crime. By using the same font for all parts of the digipak it makes it blend and look like an actual photoshoot and creates a symbol.



To make it seem more realistic I copied and pasted a barcode to put on the back cover of the album. Most albums have the tracklist on the back cover but I decided to use a front mid-shot of the artist for the front cover and a back mid-shot for the back cover. So when the consumer first  sees the front cover of the album they may predict what the back looks like and either be shocked or their prediction was true.
