This document discusses the design choices for various elements of an album packaging and gig poster. For the inside left of the digipack, a subtle photo of the artist was chosen to introduce them. The CD image leaves room for imagination without identifying text. The inside right features the artist playing guitar to indicate the genre as slow and love-related. An extra panel includes forest imagery and song lyrics. The back cover lists songs and includes something new while maintaining the green theme. The front cover stands out with a warmer color and simpler image. The gig poster uses the same font and front cover image for synergy and artist recognition.Digipak analysis

This document analyzes and summarizes several music album digipaks. For one digipak, the summary notes that it lacks images and has a simple orange and yellow color scheme, with text in big letters to identify the artist and album title in a retro, 1970s style. A second digipak features a front cover image of meteors that could represent the album's impact and appeal more to an indie audience with its cosmic theme. A third colorful digipak uses images of instruments to indicate an upbeat, happy genre and brands the artist as retro and summer-focused in style.Ancillary Task Research - Tara Rendell

The front cover of the album uses cartoon images of the band members in a minimalist style with dull colors, contrasting the usual vibrant style of hip hop albums. It emphasizes equality among the band members. The album title "Demon Days" implies a sinister style despite the calm music. Interior pages continue this minimalist style and equal representation of band members. Imagery includes silhouettes and logos. The back cover lists song titles clearly but makes one band member stand out from the others in the image through lighting.

The album cover for Gorillaz' "Demon Days" uses cartoon characters and a minimalist black and white aesthetic to establish a consistent brand identity. Though the album title implies a sinister style, the music itself is calm. The four equal images of band members suggest they are all equally important. Colors are dull rather than bright to show the music needs no flashy promotion. Inside the digipak, each band member gets an image in a symmetrical layout that emphasizes their personalities.

The digipak for Jack Johnson's album "In Between Dreams" utilizes simple, natural imagery and a minimalist design that emphasizes the music over promotion of the artist. Yellow is used to convey happiness and relaxation, and images of trees portray a link to nature. On the inside, Johnson is casually dressed and slightly hidden, furthering the idea that the album focuses on the music. Muse's "The Resistance" digipak also lacks photos of the band, instead using illustrations and blurred, artistic images that require deeper interpretation. The designs for both albums conform to indie genre conventions by avoiding extravagance and mainstream promotion of the artists, keeping the emphasis on the music.Digipak analysis

Yellow is used to convey happiness and relaxation. On the inside, Johnson is casually dressed and slightly hidden, with the guitar in focus, continuing the theme of prioritizing the music. The digipak for Muse's album "The Resistance" also lacks photos of the band, instead using abstract artwork open to interpretation. Images of the band on the back are blurred and in run-down areas, conveying an artistic vibe without mainstream extravagance common to indie genres.Controlled assment blog GCSE

The poster advertises Kings of Leon's album "Only by the Night" using the album cover as the main image. The album cover features partial faces of the band members arranged symmetrically to represent their collaborative work. It also depicts an eagle in the background symbolizing their American heritage. The green overlay and target indicators on the album cover relate to the title "Only by the Night" by evoking a night vision theme. Text on the poster is in different colors and a sans-serif font to match the variety of songs. Including popular song titles from the album will attract more fans. The dark tones and computer-inspired design target a mainly young male audience.Digipk analysis

Our media product uses several conventions of real music videos and album packaging:
1) It begins with a close-up shot of the lead singer, establishing who they are, just like many music videos.
2) It uses long shots and side angles of the band performing, allowing the audience to see the scene and feel part of the performance, just like videos by Arctic Monkeys and Foo Fighters.
3) The band members dress in simple, everyday clothes like typical indie bands to seem authentic and connect with fans.Audience questionnaire

This document discusses conventions in indie rock band logos. It notes that many indie rock logos use simple black and white designs to make them memorable while still conveying each band's unique style. Effective logos have enough detail and roughness, like misplaced letters or backwards characters, to look interesting without being too complicated. Following these conventions, the document suggests designing a logo that is uniquely rough or shaped to represent its band.Existing music video research

The document discusses the genre of indie rock music. It originated in the UK and US in the 1980s and refers to alternative rock artists that are typically signed to independent labels rather than major labels. While some indie artists have signed to major labels, they maintain an independent spirit and do not conform to popular trends. College radio stations helped popularize early indie artists like R.E.M. and The Cure. Though indie artists may not achieve large commercial success, they often have dedicated cult followings.Digi pack research
- 1. Promotional poster. The use of nothing but black and white colours for both the poster and album gives out that urban feel and simple style most indie rock bands follow. This being a typical convention. Arctic Monkeys. This promotional poster is very simple, but contains all the info you need as you can easily tell that’s its from the band arctic monkeys due to it having their name on the front. Also it tells you when the new album is due out, which is placed over the image they are using for their upcoming album. However I think doing this gives the band that carefree convention as it comes across as them not being to bothered about reaching the specific criteria of an album cover.
- 2. Babyshambles. This indie rock band goes against the typical convention of using dark/ matt urban colours and goes all out on splashing out the bright colours, this is still effective within the genre as its a mess and nothing is neat and tidy, giving out that rebellious feel. This is another band that uses the same image from their promotional poster on their album cover, this allows once a direct link from the poster to the album shown. The band have included an album name on their front cover which.
- 3. Foals This poster is used to promote a tour the band are going on and includes the dates of each location, however you can see that it does use the same image from their album ‘Antidotes’, also in the left hand bottom corner you can see that the poster also promotes the album. Both colour schemes are light, with little use of the typical dark urban colours apart from the text is black but this makes it stand out from the background. The other colours used is the multi-colouring mouth which is just a mess of colours placed inside the drawings mouth. The cover of this album is very simple as it just looks like some school kid has drawn a man on the front of some paper, you can see this because the drawing is a tad out of place. The images also comes across as quite creepy due to its mouth being filled with loads of colours instead of teeth.
- 4. During my research of indie rock album covers and posters I have found just like their logos indie rock bands try their best to make their album covers and posters unique and stand out from the rest but still managing to keep it simple. They do this through their random image choices and the colouring choices they use. Another thing is that nearly always the poster and the actual album have some sort of link to one another, this is usually done by using the same image on the poster that is used for the album cover. All these techniques makes the digi pack either effective in promoting something or just make the band successful in selling their albums or items.
