My Digipak

My album is called 'Illusion' as my digipak does not feature my face therefore acts as an illusion to the audience as they cannot see the artist. The name 'Illusion' also gives off a sense of mystery which will enable the audience to begin to wonder what the album is about and intrigue them to hear it.

I have used a black and white filter and a white border around the picture in order to make my title and image stand out.

I have had to include the parental advisory explicit content warning due to there being explicit words within my music video.
However, I believe that this will increase sales as it implies the album is for 18+ and therefore the younger generation will want to buy it to seem rebellious.




This double page spread is in the middle of my digipak and this is where I have featured some of the lyrics and the chorus of my music video, I Arise Because, as it is a generic convention of digipaks.






I have put my 7 tracks on the back of my album. I have used an image where the background is out of focus so that my track names stand out.
I have included a barcode I have added from the internet as it is a generic convention of the back cover of a digipak.


I have used the font Copperplate Gothic Light on the back and middle of the album as it links in with my front cover font.

I have gone for a simple yet sophistic digipak design using the black and white filter and a clean easy to read font.
My inspiration came from the album Colour Of The Trap by Miles Kane:

The Target Audience

Danny Seth is a 23 year old, British rapper from London.
His target audience will therefore be of the younger generation, aged 16 - 30, as they are the main fans of the rap genre.
Being a London boy many of his fans will also be British as they will find it easier to relate to his music and character.
Signs that Danny appeals to this audience can be seen through his fashion, as it demonstrates that he is young and hip:


My target audience will be the same as Danny's as my album will also be of the rap genre.

Danny Seth - I Arise Because


LYRICS

Woke up and I'm feeling like the shit
Like a piece of motherfucking toilet paper
Best thing out my country
No one coming after me like a chaser
And just because I'm breaking overseas
I've got motherfuckers calling me a traiter,
But man I'll rep my city so damn hard
Like a viagra taker
Place your bets, it's time to take your wagers
Cause I'm about to blow like hookers for some paper
And if you doubted me, I'll catch you in the future cause I'll see you later
I don't need a helping hand, use it for some masturbating 
I bet now they can see me, me?
I've got the game locked no key, key
And if you ask your bitch what her favourite letter in my name is
I bet that she say D

Woke up and I'm feeling like myself
I don't need nobody's help
I did it on my own two
I don't need nobody's help
I'm feeling like myself
I'm feeling like myself
I woke up, remembered
That I did it by myself

Uh, never asking for your help
Holding up my city like a fucking trouser belt
London where I'm repping, by my accent you can tell
And I'm always with my clique, rolling deep like Adele
Uh, molecule is how I smell
Bet your bitch wish that she could have me, need a well
Wanna hear a story? Well, I've got a few to tell
But I feel like I'm spitting fire, there's the warning, there's the bell
I ain't gotta tell you I'mma be the greatest
And I never grew up in the hood, unless it's by my necklace
23, I nearly completed my checklist 
The British coming, I'm the rapping One Direction
Red ropes wrapped around my private section
Fuck you talking bout if I'm not in the conversation?
Never started from the bottom but I wrote this in the basement
I hope I adjusted your perception 

Woke up and I'm feeling like myself
I don't need nobody's help
I did it on my own two
I don't need nobody's help
I'm feeling like myself
I'm feeling like myself
I woke up, remembered
That I did it by myself
