Digipack Evaluation

In our digipack I wanted to give the band the brand of being a young , rebellious punk group. There aim in life is to have fun through various stimulates like alcohol , drugs and sex. They abitiion is to aim high but at the same time ant to make the most they can out of life , no boring dull jobs they want to life the glam rock style they were born to lead.

I created the digipack using a multimedia editing software package alled Adobe Photoshop CS5 . On the first page of the digipack , I wanted to use quite grungy colours , which were black , white and grey. I took an image and applied many effects and filters and also repainted over it again to give it a look that didn’t resemble perfection. The shapes on my cover were vertical and rough , jagged shapes connate the idea of the band being edgy , not quite right and rebellious ( rough around the edges).

On my second page I added a brief biography ,which told the audience a little about the history of the band , including there influences for why they play that particular kind of music. I kept to the same greyscale based colours as before to not over complicate things . I thought I would use the main driving voice of the band , the vocalist as the image on this cover to show that he represented the band the best .

On my third page , I kept the idea of simplicity and used just a plain white background . I added a picture drawn by Hunter S. Thompson with a following quote about drugs which summed up the lifestyle of the band very well. This rooted the band down to the ideology that drugs help produce some of the best music ever recorded.

On my fourth and final page I used a shot of my singer in the foreground holding what is clearly a bottle of alcoholic desent and a cigarette in his mouth about to light it up, there is the additional groupies near by which higlight the whole ‘Party hard style’ my band was trying to aim for . I feel that this hot suits a back cover well since , it shows the end of a gig , another day over and the celebration , the aftermath of the show.
