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.
Well done Holly, I'd suggest you experiment with shots. Closeups and long shots could be included on the digipak. I strongly advise you post generic examples from real digipaks to support evidence of research.
ReplyDeleteWell done Holly, I appreciate all your hard work
ReplyDeleteHolly where are your digipak panels and your magazine advert so that I can have a look at them?
