Double Page With Lyrics

I'm really happy that Sean edited the double page to work in some lyrics. Though I do have a lot to press on about. He got my suggestion though he's a bit off of convention in some sense. I really like the second image as it keeps on that image quality of his drawings, but the font... well it really has nothing to do with the genre at all. Alternative Rock genres often have very bold, large font types and are often centre alinged too - further more it should have more black space as its starting to over lap the photo/edited photo and the song needs to be broken up into verses.

I dont think Sean is very interested in these, yet the whole point of a digi pack is presenntation of lyrics. So, we'll meet at a middle ground. The font, verse ligns must be seperated and this double page must have a lot more room. The title of the digi pack should be
''ALL the small things''
Then a double page for each verse of the lyrics. There are in total at least 6 different verses, meaning we can have a range of drawing double pages and edited photo images, then possibly finishing the book in art and images. Really don't want to insult Sean but I hate the font set out here - we could do so much more. I'll take this up with him on Tuesday.

    Don't forget that the digi-pak is for the entire album, so you would probably need to include lyrics for at least another 8 songs. Although I do agree with your point about the generic verisimilitude; it's important to get that right.

    Yeah as I mentioned on his blog, the font has to be right as love the digipack designs. From your later post, the faded or dripped paint is nice so left him some notes to maybe try and improve the text but do give him a bit more of an idea to how you want the text as very bold and plain could be a number of things. Maybe sit down and just look through fonts together to see which one everyone can agree on. I did leave a suggestion on his blog of papyrus font which can looked chipped and crack (similar to the paint one) which might be more appropriate.
