Digipack Font Ideas

In this post I will be explaing the diffrent types of fonts and text we will be considering for our own digipack.


Idea 1:
We thought that the font of the artist's name on the front cover of the digipak, as well as the album name should be in capital letters. This would help draw the audience's attention to the digipak.


We tried using this font, called 'Death in the Shadow' from the website DaFont.com with the decided album name, 'Keep Real' as well as the artist's name.

The album name would be 'Keep Real', because of the lyrics being repeated in the song and because of its relevance to our narrative.

The font, 'Death in the Shadows' appealed to us because we thought it was looked flowy and soft. However, we thought that this wouldn't be suitable for our digipak because it was too fancy. We wanted the font to look more bland/plain and utilise an original type font, even though this one complemented Dream Pop codes and conventions in terms of the curls and loops in the font above, depicting an almost 'fairytale' feel.

Idea 2: 
Here is another font style we have considered to use which is called "bellota". The reason for this font choice was the simplicity but neat finishing. 
This is how the font looks like when we write our protagonists name. As you can see it looks very simplistic but attractive to the female audience. It also spaces the letters out and signifies that each letter has a specific meaning. We have planned to use this font on the front panel of our digipack but not as the main title, however on the left hand side horizontally.
