Fidlar Digipak and Poster Deconstruction

1. ‘FIDLAR’ DIGIPAK AND POSTER
DECONSTRUCTION

2. DIGIPAK
DECONSTRUCTION
This album cover repeatedly shows the
bands name over and over again in
almost ‘Punk’ style print letters. Although
this is an Indie Rock band, there are
strong elements of Punk music in this
band, and therefore this album is also
quite conventional to the Punk genre to.
This is not unusual for Indie Rock bands,
this is because ‘Indie’ is quite a broad
music genre so bands tend to overlap
into different music genres.
This is a very simple album cover design.
This is because the Indie music genre
focuses much more on the band rather
then its image. Therefore there are no
visual images on this album design. This
album cover is completely black and
white which is another recurring Indie
music genre convention.

DECONSTRUCTION
Inside the Digipak is a wide shot of a mixing desk. This also
highlights how this band focuses on the music purely rather
then their image. It could also represent how they use real
instruments and they are not computer generated effects.
There is also a sign on the mixing desk. This fits more in the
Punk convention as it follows the rebellious and anarchistic
attitude of Punks.

4. DIGIPAK
DECONSTRUCTION
Inside the Digipak case there contained a
small double sided poster with the song
lyrics on one side and band members on the
other.
The song lyrics have been included because
the genre is strongly orientated around the
actual music. The lyrics have been written by
hand or in a font which makes it look like it
has been written by hand. This suggests it
was not produced professionally or with a
large budget. This fits into the Indie music
genre conventions.
The other side has the pictures of the band
members. The musicians are not posing for
the photo and are looking purposefully
unattractive. This reveals how they do not
care about their image and that it is purely
about the music and live shows. This fits into
both the Punk and Indie music genre
conventions.

5. POSTER
DECONSTRUCTION
This poster shows a FIDLAR live gig.
It uses the black and white design
throughout, except for the cartoon
band member in the middle which
follows the black and white
convention. It also has a rebellious
side to it as it shows the character
showing his middle finger, however
this fits more with the punk
conventions.
Because it is advertising for a live
show it also highlights how the band
focuses on its music because they
enjoy playing live and do it for fun,
rather then for money or success.
This is the same throughout the Indie
genre.
