The document discusses research being done for a band's digipak and poster logo featuring a Day of the Dead skull. The researcher wants the skull facing the side rather than front for more complexity. While liking the shape of one skull design, they do not want a candy skull theme and prefer a grunge style over flowery to match the band. A second skull design is considered but does not want as much detail to avoid realism compromising the intended effect.

1. Day of The Dead Skull
Research

2. For my digipak I know I want to have an
image of a skull on the front cover and on my
poster as a logo for the band. However, I
need to do a bit of research in order to learn
a little more about the designs. I have chosen
two designs I feel will give an insight into
what I am hoping to design.

3. For the design I know that I definitely want the
skull to be facing the side and not to be facing
the front as I think it will look too simplistic. I like
the shape of this skull design in particular.
However, I do not want to go with the theme of
the candy skull, for example adding flowers,
hearts and diamonds. I want to keep the design
more grunge than flowery as it would not fit the
bands style or genre.

4. Here is another design
that I have decided to
look at as again the shape
of the skull is exactly what
I am looking for. I do not
want to include as much
detail as these skulls have
as I feel like if the design
is too realistic that it will
not have the effect that I
want the digipak to have.
