This font is 14pt, the line height is 20pt, it's color is orange, and the font family will be 'Garamond'. If the user's computer doesn't have 'Garamond', it will use 'Georgia'. Failing that it will use the default 'serif' font on the user's computer (this is often 'Times' or 'Times Roman' - just leave it as 'serif'). You can also specify bold text and italics if you wish!

Changes to my original digipack

After a "show and tell" with a number of classmates, who fit the demographic and have a similar understanding of codes and conventions, a number of possible changes were suggested to my original digipack design. The first suggestion was that the cover photo bore a strong resembelance to the old Roxy music covers, in which an anonymous female would lie seductively across the album cover. Although this was intended initially as an homage, it was cited that similarities were too strong with the below image and that as a result something would need to be changed in order to make the cover more original.

To solve this problem I decided that rather than have the model naked and ragmenting and distortion covering the explicit parts of her body, having a female in a similarly provocative pose but in clothes, could be equally in keeping with the album themes. It was noted, also, that the clothes worn on the cover should be reflective of the sexual content of the songs within the album and their titles.

The second change suggested was again fuelled by over bearing similarities. The image of the lips which would provide the backdrop for the CD's disk case was directly copied from the iconic Rocky Horror imagery and although I intended to take my own photos of this , it would be too similar for the image to reflect any sort of individualism or creativity. This left me with the prospect of an almost complete overhaul of my original digi-pack design
