1. Research in to Digipaks and Posters
From whatI have researchI can say that the DigipaksandPostersforbandsare alwaysverystrongly
linked.Theytendtouse the exactsame photoor one that isverysimilar.
Here are a fewexamples…
Muse- The 2nd
Law
Here you can see thatmuse have usedthe exactsame picture for boththe DigipakandPoster. I
reallylike the simple coverthatmuse have done.Iwantto use a similarideaof simplicityformine so
that itdoesn’tbecome toocrowded.Ithink havinga simple designmeansthatitwill be more
memorable forthe audience.
GreenDay- AmericanIdiot
AgainGreenDay have usedthe same image forboth the posterandthe Digipakcover. Eventhough
thisisa simple coveritpromotesavaluable message.The ideaof the heartshapedgrenade
emphasiseshowmanyliveswarcantake.Alsothe title suggeststhatsometimesascountry’swe can
be stupid.
