Design Idea Shortlist

FONT - I've searched for an elegant font, but not too elegant, handwritten but fancy, italics, but not too neat. So here are the typefaces that came across...
-too neatly done

-too elegant

-hearts are too 'cheesy'

-doesn't look hand written
 With these fonts, they all have one thing in common, a nice flow of curls showing elegantly put together letters. But I felt that neither of these typefaces defined who Melody Davis is. They're either too perfectly neat  or it doesn't match the genre.
So I searched for more fonts on http://www.dafont.com/  and I came across 'The King & Queen' font; which I think is the perfect font for Melody Davis. Thinking about her colourful outfit, rebellious young attitude, standing out from the crowd and the location of the video (Camden Town), Melody Davis could own this font. The flow of the curls, the elegantly handwritten type and the edge is all in one with this font.


COLOURS - looking back at my analysis of the different digipaks and advertisements, I personally think black is a strong bold colour which could highlight specific areas, such as a particular image. I also quite like the black and white tone with a bit of colour because this once again could bring out the important bits of information. Another idea could be black, white and brown to represent the 'acoustic' guitar feel. Overall, a very limited amount of colour should be used with my digipak.


LAYOUT - 4 panel digipak. Limited images with limited effects. An image stretch over 2 panels.
