After changing my digipak I decided to make it mostly collage based so I collected lots of images I felt that fit the genre of Alternative Hip Hop and made an album cover.
After scanning in the image, I brightened it up a lot but also toned town the green because it was very bright and stood out too much. I created a few different variations including ones in colour, ones in black/white and ones in black and grey/red/green/purple.
For the text, instead of the Wishful Waves font I was originally going to use, I used a gothic type font called Old London. This links with the hip hop genre conventions because that style is used on my 90s hip hop albums such as Illmatic by Nas. The font also works as a horror type font so also fits in alot of themes in the experimental hip hop genre. I also tried out a large bold font. The reason I chose both of these fonts is because they are way easier to be read against the rough background especially the bold font, the Wishful Waves font is just an outline so is difficult to even see.
These are my favourite combinations of colours, typography and font placement.
I also created the back cover in a similar style but using only the Old London font.
These are my favourite colours for the back cover.
