Final digipak edit



This is the final edit of our digipak. I made changes to the original edit because of feedback from our focus group video. I decided to simplify the artwork by making each side, mirror each other. I did this by using the same theme throughout the digipak because the feedback from other people suggested that there was too much going on and there were too many elements added to each photograph. I think that i used too many images on the digipak before so by using the reference to the roses on the cd and then using it on the inside cover. I think that this makes it look more artistic, rather than all about the artist, it shows her other interests. I didn't want the rose on the inside cover to just be a plain rose so i researched Egyptian poems on the internet and i picked this extract from a poem i chose. The poem expressed how strong and powerful love and war is, which i think compliments the stereotypes of what pop artists talk about in their music. This is the full poem:

The Wakening Trumpet 

Sacred waters with fatted reeds
rusting sands hold my Egypt
sun-planted palms against sky-blue
the salt marsh dries her ancient armor.


Scorpions on the granite sphinx
bloody altars with tarnishing bronze,
gold of gild, plumes upon Antony's helmet
finding the cause of Kings and Pharaohs
stretching like a sleeping cat -
a queen in Cleopatra
knows the heart of the scorching desert.


Over dunes came drumming legions
across a perfect child's stare
beyond the mirage of temples
beyond those angled pyramids. . ..


O Copper palm, tree of tree
by hot sea
crossing a thousand centuries -
an empire for your beads
and your bursting history !
