First Plans for my Digipak cover
I want to expore both the Ska genre and the Punk genre a lot of British Ska music (including Smaller Than You) originates from or has been influenced by.
I also want to include some humour within my digipak cover as i feel this often appeals to young audiences and this would link nicely with our music video.
I would also like to explore either the band name (Smaller Than You) or the album name (Who Knew).
From this I came up with the following ideas:
1) Punk : The authorities, police, breaking the law, urban settings eg. Graffiti.
2) Ska : Skateboarding (this would link with the music video and become a recognisable motif people associate with the band)
3) Who Knew: Mystery, questioning.
4) Smaller Than you: Measurements, a line up.
From this I have come up with the idea of a police 'line up' format spray painted to look like graffitti on my boyfriend's garage wall (it would be difficult to get permission to do this in a public place). This will link to the Punk generic conventions, the questioning theme in the album name and the size theme in the band name.
I then decided to have a male model standing by the line up, holding a skateboard instead of the normal board convicts or suspects hold. This way i can encorporate both skateboarding and humour.
Here are some images i have found to illustrate my idea:


My image would be similar to these though i am still wondering if i should shoot it as more of a long shot to include the model's feet. I would also only include one person and they would be holding a skateboard. I like the humour in these images and the way they seem to be making some sort of political statement.
I also like the contrast between black and white and colour in the first image.
