Group Feedback on Digipak Designs, Album and Artist Name, and Final Designs

The Name Game

My group and I sat together to discuss two things. The first of these were our separate ideas for the digipak, in which we all got feedback.

My feedback was as follows

1. Like the colour stripes, take out the white backdrop for another colour like a pale blue
2. CD is cool, but make it a kaleidoscope to add to the trippy style
3. Dripping looks nice
4. Overall themes create a childish, psychedelic star image, however would come across better if the artist featured

The other two had different styles and ideas and eventually we came to a final design which was a mix of mine and Sean's. Both Harry and Sean liked the striped colour effect from my idea, but felt our artist needed to feature, and so we used Sean's idea of the singer lying on a lilo in a swimming pool. Here was one of the designs we designed together, however we see our final design being very different.

The genre would be clear from the bright coloured design similar to the two below, and the relaxed star image will be created by the photo of our artist relaxing in the pool. The whole campaign throughout will link the childish aspect, with vibrant colours too.

We also decided on our Artist and Album name. The decision was fairly simple as we all agreed on my name and title, as it matched the childish vibe we are going for. Frank Ray was a simple name, that we wanted to sound relaxed and informal. We found it sat well with artists like Kurt Vile and Mac De Marco. Imaginary Friends also ticks the boxes in terms of being drug related whilst also referencing a childish theme.

As I'm editing the video still, the production of this digipak will be up to Sean, with Harry creating a Website
