2. Digi paks • Digi paks come in various formats. Each digipak has a
front and back cover representing the artist, all include
the name of the artist and the title or the song/album,
most will include a shot of the artist and some may just
have a picture which represents the artist but not an
actual picture. On the back conventionally is a track
listing. Some artists will have a design on their c.d.
whereas some may just prefer a blank c.d. with just
their name on it. Some bands or artists will have inserts
inside the digipak which will include photos of the artist
and/or lyrics of the songs.
3. HAIM
Leaning against the wall
We took a lot of
inspiration from the
pop rock band
‘Haim’ due to their
style, also the
similarity of a girl
group.
In these particular
album covers, they
look very carefree
and unique which
we’d like to relate
and express on our
own cover.
When shooting pictures for our
album cover, we presented similar
poses to fit their laid back look.
The clothes this girl group wear are
very similar and we also went for a
toned down look to fit together.
4. PARAMORE
Looking different directions
Paramore are a pop rock group,
which has a very similar style to our
band. We mostly liked the approach
of their digi pak photography and
font.
This childish font is very simple but
effective because it stands out well,
when having to choose our band
font, we will need to find
something that’s fits into those
category's but are still original.
The band members are all looking different
directions, which creates an interesting
effect, making you looking everywhere on
the album cover. When shooting our first
photography session, we experimented with
some of paramour’s looks, which helped us
create our own image.
5. IMAGINE DRAGONS
Using hands
Imagine dragons are a rock band
which doesn’t fit our genre, however
the font they’ve used on their album
looks very indie and different.
On this particular album
cover, they’ve used their
hands as the main focus.We
liked this idea and when we
started our photography
shoot, we used our hands to
symbolise vision, which works
well with our band name.
