I've been editing the digipak again today. On the inside of the cover I had designed a question mark to go on the cd itself. In my original design I thought red would be a good colour to use as it stands out well against the white cd but also give a contrast to the text I wanted to put on it. I asked Lorna what she thought of the red and she thought it was too bold and looked more like something Coca-Cola related.
So I changed it to black to see what it looked like so that it would be in keeping with the black and white text of the rest of the digipak.
Here are my edits:
I feel that the red gives a nice contrast on the CD, making it stand out more. The black does also go with the whole black and white text theme we've chosen but I feel it's too dull and when I changed the opacity of the question mark, it did improve it slightly yet to me it still looks a little dull and boring.
So then after a group discussion, we still couldn't agree. Lorna then suggested that I could use the same type of style as I did for the front cover text, the text being white then having a shadow behind it.
This is what it looked like:
Lorna thought this looked like a button on the CD, I myself quite like it. With out only boldness of colour it still makes the question mark stand out but also keeps it inline with the rest of the digipak. However George still likes the red so we can't all decide on one, so we've made a poll on the left hand side to see what other people think, so hopefully next lesson we will have a decision.
