Digipak

My original digipak did not have aside panel and did not display the album name.

First draft:

In this first image, the front and back panels are displayed, along with the side strip which joins the two together. I chose to use an image which features in our music video to reinforce the idea that this album features our single, however chose this image also because it is diverse and feel it could represent any of the songs on the album. I chose to have a black and white theme due to the fact that we use a lot of black and white in our music video but also to reflect our chosen genre, as many alternative rock digipaks are generally dark and isolating.

The second image is of the inside panels of my digipak, I again chose an image from our music video, however this time I have used an image which refers to the band, specifically the lead singer who is also the protagonist of our narrative music video.


Final Draft:

Digipak Inspiration

Digipaks generally have between 2-8 panels. Usually the standard is 4.

 

Here is an example of a digipak which is for the rock artist 'TV on the Radio':

Album Cover Ideas

I recently came across this powerful image, it represents the idea that everyone is hiding behind something. This image (to me) represents majority of women, who feel they have to wear makeup to be acceptable or fit into society.

This idea of a mask to hide behind or to blend in to society is also something we are trying to portray in our music video as our protagonist is shown on a average date with a woman as he is unsure about his sexuality and how society will react.

Therefore this image could be adapted to suit our album cover.
