Planning our digipack

In today's lesson we began to plan what we want our digipack to look like. After looking at different indie bands digipacks we combined some ideas together and came up with an idea of what we want ours to look like. We want to incorporate a crumpled paper look as the background as well as giving it a vintage look by adjusting the saturation as we think this will look effective and keep up with the indie theme. We also want to make sure the name of the band and album are written in capital letters but with a hand written font as we found that nearly all the album covers we looked at had this. For the back cover and inlay we also want to somehow incorporate glitter, newspaper cut outs and chalk writing as each digipack we found was individual and slightly random. The band name we decided on was 'The Interpretation'. By using the word 'The', it automatically sounds like a band as many bands such as The Script, The Maccabees and The Kooks all use the word which also gives the name an indie feel. 'Interpretation' was a word we all liked the sound of as many people interpret indie music differently and we also think that the name is memorable and catchy. Our idea for the cover is by using Jack's face in the center with a plain background. His face will be drawn by hand and painted with water colours. The right half of his face will be slightly blurred which will merge into the background. We felt this was an effective idea as it has quite a random twist to it which we have not seen on an album cover before.
