In this draft of my digipak I started to build upon a digipak template. I first added in the front and back cover and then I added a border around it because the rest of the digipak is mostly black including the spine so it fits alongside it better. Before creating the spine, I changed the back cover so the text is larger and does not include a title.
The Spine of the digipak is black with MC ZODIAC in the original old London that I used on the front cover. I also added lines to fill in the empty space, the lines are meant to look like border lines.
I added similar lines to the other spine.
For the background of the other panels I drew a page with lots of dark, occult and satanic imagery (a candle, skull, goats head, reaper, pentagram, serpent and a pitchfork). I inverted the colours and added it to the black background, I also lowered the opacity so the drawing was a bit more subtle.
Feedback
The feedback I received for this draft was mostly to do with the text. I was recommended to change the font of the back cover to something slightly more interesting because it looks like a default font. I agree and will change it, although I do want it in a similar style, with serif, italic etc. I was also advised about the numbers on the tracklisting, I will try removing them just to see what it looks like even though I already like the numbers. Another piece of feedback I will consider is to add more colour, because other than the front and back covers, it is monochrome. I might experiment with different CD deisgns because they are very simple black and white and doesn't really fit with the messy, "all over the place" style.
