As the song 'Lollipop' is very much child orientated and colourful, i felt that it would be appropriate to have some of elements of my final digipack drawn by hand, rather than computerised. This would furthermore emphasise the originality of our piece and make it somewhat idiosyncratic in this particular aspect of our project as it is known for artists to have professional photographs taken for use in the digipacks rather than handmade images.
Here are some rough sketches that i came up with to perhaps be replicated in my digipack...

These two images above depict a black and white version of what i intend to be the colourful album cover. It involves the title of the song 'LOLLIPOP' in a rainbow-like format, with each letter having it's own little deco ration (e.g. polka dots). In the centre of the cover shall be a little girl sucking on her lollipop innocently. To the left and right of her will be various objects/ideas/things/items that young children are typically fond of (e.g. hearts music sweets teddy bears etc) all piled on top of each other creating a collage-like effect. At the bottom of the cover I will write the name of the artist (Mika). I chose to use this curly and sketchy font as it stuck to the main theme of my cover which is youth.
The image above shows another one of my potential digipack covers. It has a different style of font from the previous one, this time being a lot more sketchy. In the centre of the image there is a swirl lollipop surrounded by different sized hearts. I found this would be significant as it conjoins the two main ideas of the song (love and lollipops) together and forms an attractive picture. At the bottom in an informal font the artist's name is written. Therefore the audience can identify who sung this piece of music and furthermore they can associate this artist with their perceptions of love and lollipops.

Great to see you developing your ideas. I have some reservations about the little girl image, but really like the heart shapes floating aroung the lollipop. I am looking forward to see how you develop the original sketch further. M
