Digipak & Magazine planning

For our ancillary task we have many ideas which we think will work really well for the bands digipak as well as the magazine article and as we are all art students as well it meant we could perhaps be a bit more creative with it. We wanted to use a lot of colour for this task due to the title of the song 'Korma Chameleon' and to represent to fireworks within out music video. 

 


We began by looking at various album/digipak covers for inspiration which also linked with our genre as well as bands which had done similar covers to the image we wanted. We looked at OKGO as they have been such a big inspiration to us and fit the same genre we thought that they perhaps may have interesting covers. As you can see they have used quite artistic ways of creating their albums. The first one i really like and we could perhaps have a go at creating but using paint instead of the floral print to create the wording making it a bit more interesting. The second one is obviously really unquie, fun and I can imagine a lot of people would like this and it would capture people's eyes when set on a shelf in store.

The second band we looked at was The Stone Roses this has really inspired us and due to them being a boy band we can use similar images etc. As you can see they use a lot of actually artwork rather than computerised paintings etc. The text is also really simple and it works because if the text was as busy as the background it would be to much. I really like the Stone Roses album covers the represent the genre as well as the band with this own going artistic vibe. Just like to OKGO covers these would defintly stand out if they were sat on a shelf in a store as they are so eye catching. I also like the fact they don't always feature the band meaning its a bit different also true fans would instantly recognise the cover and pick it up and purchase it.

So from this we had various ideas to begin testing our ancillary task, we painted various 'splashes' of paint which we then used to start experiment new ideas.I made a short video to explain our ideas:
