Digipack Ideas

 Digipack Ideas

The album title for our band is 'A Long Walk Home'. The connotations of this title I feel is quite vast so we can have many options. However I feel as this title as well as our song connotate sadness I think may be a theme we will use.

This album cover from the Rock band Daughtry I feel is a good example of what we are looking for. This is because it shows all of the band members at the top of the cover showing that they might not be very well known so they have to show their faces to show their audience who they are. Also they are pictured above a road which may show them as powerful and good musicians or connotating that they are up in Heaven showing sadness of death. Also they are faded out showing their audience that they focus on the music rather than themselves and their appearance.

I feel that these two images show the title to mean that the band are on their way home but they have a long way ahead of them. Showing that they may have to impress or become better artists to make their way home. Also the black and white feel may allow us to work with some effects so that we can make a iconographic image which is directly linked to the artist. Also black and white gives an old fashioned theme to the album which is a convention of Indie Rock.

This image here shows the band names '28 North' on the side of the image on a guitar case. This could allow use to show to the audience that the artist is focused on their musical talents rather than anything else and that they are hidden away, possible being away from the mainstream. Also I feel that using this image as an inlay could be a special feature of our digipack as it shows that the audience are part of the visuals of the band and that is what they focus on

 Another image from the Rock band Daughtry is of their CD cover which will be a part of our digipack. I think the use of the same image as the front cover for the CD cover is a good idea. This allows for effects to be put onto the same image by giving the image different connotations such as dark, gloomy or even allowing the artist to show a new idea or showing another convention of Indie Rock in the same image.
