Digi-pack Development

This is our recent development for our digi-pack developed by the group - primarly Sean - though me and Reece have also been submitting our opinion too. I think these are great.

#
Because of the style of the music, agtagonists and revolution easily fit into the themes that we depict in the music video, as well as the genre that we are looking at.


This is more indie and individual, it has that illustration side that we saw in the genre, particularly (much like) Blink 182 Neighbourhoods album. More so, the black and white fits well with the genre as this is often used to depict text or images within the alternative rock community.


The lust is a big theme we pick out during the music video (as depicted by the suggestive sex scene in the music video), it fits really well and should out reach to our target audience. The vibrant artistic colours are effective too, as the pink, red and purple are easily representivie of lust (as we researched together). It's both attractive as well as metaphorical, particularly with the mixed sex symbol in the middle to suggest those themes that we address.


Personally, I don't like this one, particularly for the crude cubisum that it shows, but at the same time it could be argued that the sureal colours and 'messed up face' are representivitve of fake smiles, getting through it all and possibly taking drugs which are also themes that we have depicted.


We again embark on the theme and more so idea of drugs, 'Psychedlic Pug' uses vibrant yellow and green to create that 'trippy' feel within the piece, though it has a much more mellow feel to it. This feels a lot like the disorted and almost abstract pieces from the digi pack of LP.


For all the samll things, we decided that the title would be in the middle as it is the single from the album. We decided to go with the theme of drugs and alchol as these are also themes that we have addressed in our music video -we see the narrative characters taking drugs as well as drinking alchol- and these are the themes we depicted from our research into the genre, looking at both music videos and digipacks as well as CDs for similar bands.

The digipack isn't complete yet, we have 4 more pages to produce, as well as the internal back cover which will be completed by tomorrow.
