Construction Post: Digipak Creation (David)



Products













Method

To create this polarised type digipak I edited the photos we had adding Lightness to the picture which gives the white, misty like look. Then I added the offset and the contrast to further create this look. The white misty look is representative of a polarised photo which is linked to indie and "hipster" look, Which I was going for, as it suits the genre and the look of the band.Furthermore the use of street art I took in London is also linked with the indie genre as it is very plain and simple yet it shows where we are and then links to the video also.

The photos that aren't band group shots or London are scenery shots taken by me also. The photo for the disc is a shot of Hyde park and I used a sunset shot to use as a backdrop for the second lyric book. The sunset photo fits with the feel of the all the photos having a natural and simplistic look. 

                 Comparisons

The style of digipak we used can be compared to lots of other indie bands as it is a common theme. However the differences between ours and others is the use of different colours and more natural shots of both the band and the scenery around them. For example Fall Out Boy's "Save Rock and Roll" album, which has a almost polarised style for the front cover which is similar to ours. and the Killers' "Day and Age" album which uses a dot method to give it the same effect as a authentic photo.
