DIGI-PAK INSPIRATION

We began thinking of ideas for our digi-pak by getting inspiration from other album covers, the two album covers in particular that I really liked, where Wiley, playtimes over and Example, won’t go quietly. I feel that both these album covers feature elements we would like to explore in our album cover! My favourite was the example album cover, because not only is it achievable, it is eye catching and tells a story! I like the grid affect and how different sides of him are shown, I think that if we where to use this idea we could perhaps show the artist from different viewpoints in their lives, because our album will be call "Freedom of speech" elements such as the megaphone and the duck tape around the mouth are very good ideas, that helped me to generate ideas of my own, we could use the same grid affect however display different methods of expression, the two central grids could feature the artist and the surrounding could be random people or random, objects that express freedom! I thought this idea would be both achievable and very eye-catching and be a true representation of what we hope to portray! The other album cover was Playtime's over by Wiley, I like the gloomy aspect to this album cover, it suggests seriousness which is a factor we aim to bring forth in our album cover, as a group we thought that we could shoot the album cover in a public place such as a graveyard or a park, and we could edit the picture to emphasize the level of seriousness! I have displayed the two album covers that have given me inspiration, I like idea of a grid the most, today I am going to take pictures of Jeffrey and Justin who are the two artists, we will try a series of shots and determine which ones best suit our image, market and aim!
