Photo's of the band

MattieOlivia's photostream on Flickr.

Here are a few photo's of the band. I used one of these for my draft digipak but then decided not to go with the green background. Therefor i have used the two individual photo's and put them together on photoshop.

Advert in progress

I am constructing the advert using photoshop. I've decided to go with the red and blue colour theme that complement the male/female genders in the band. My advert will continue to have a simplistic look.

I need to include:

Band name
Album Name
Star rating (and music magazine name)
sony logo (music label)
Iphone detection code. (This will take people straight to itubes where they can buy/pre-order the album.

Mattie & Steph coursework: Digipak progression

Mattie & Steph coursework: Digipak progression: As you can see i've moved the track listing onto the inside cover to keep the outside minimalistic. I have also added a few tacks to match...

Digipak Inspiration

 

This Digipak from Flying Lotus is similar to mine in the sense that the band name is not featured on the cover but instead it's on the spine. The back cover is also very minimal with only the legal information and artwork. My back cover will also just feature the legal information.

This digipak by My bloody valentine is different to Flying lotus. They have used  a very bold red that could conote blood and a strong image that flows through the digipak.  They have also put the trak listing for the albbum on the inside cover, something i might do with my digipak.

Digipak Design 2

This is my changed digipak design with the blue and red panels. I'm now considering placing the track listing on the inside cover of the digipak to give the outside a more minimalistic look.

Cover ideas for digipak

Bitte Orca Dirty Projectors

After looking at many different covers, i've been drawn to this American band (similar to mine). The artwork for their cover was desinged by Rob Carmichael, who runs Catsup Plate Records and has created art for artists such as Animal collective and Atlas Sound. The colours used are still bold but maybe not as distracting as the bright green.

Digipak Design Idea 2

Digipak draft feedback

From receiving the feedback of my draft Digipak i have decided to change a few things. The first few things i will add to the didgipak is the bands Twitter, website and record label. This provide fans of 'Intoxicated' to have more of a personal relationship with the band and follow what they're up to. Another idea was to maybe have the image of the band (inspired by disclosure) on the cover instead of the handprint.

Track list

1. inhalate and intoxicate
2. beautiful addiction
3. Mind Games
4. everything you want
5. heads will roll (a-trak remix)
6. plastic faces
7. Below and above

I have decided to put the track listing on the back covr of the digipak. This way, if people were to pick up the product in a shop they can easily see what tracks are featured and this could be a good selling point if they're favourite song is on the album. The reason the track listing isn't on the inside covers is because on the inside left cover there will be some lyrics of the songs.
