2. Below are images of album covers, singles, adverts and
Fonts digipaks by the band Foals. When we make our digipak and
album, we want to make it as realistic and similar to the
actual band’s products as possible. To do this, we need to
look at the already existing style, for example fonts.
From looking at these, we can see a theme; thick, block capitals usually with the
colouring matching the background and rest of the cover. Below are some fonts that fit
the appropriate style.
3. Colour Scheme After looking at album covers
and posters from bands in the
indie genre, it has become
apparent that the colour
scheme is reliant on the rest
of the cover, whether it be a
photograph or drawing.
Usually, the photograph has
prominent colours in it. If we
use The Libertines album
cover as an example, we can
see that black, white and red
the most striking colours.
Therefore, the font follows
this idea and a colour scheme
is created throughout the
whole product. So, we have
learnt that, for our product to
have a suitable colour
scheme, it will rely heavily on
the photograph we choose as
the main.
4. As part of the task is to keep continuity
Photographs across our music video, album advert and
digipak, we have decided to use a still
from our music video as our front cover.
This will enable us to link all 3 products
together visually. We have learnt that a
lot of bands in the same genre do this,
and our existing research shows that the
album cover is usually the image used on
adverts. By using a still from our video,
we hope that the audience of our digipak
will appreciate the running theme. Here
are some of the possible photographs we
could use, which were all taken while
filming our music video.
