Indie/Folk Magazine Adverts

My Digipak Ideas

After opening a Pinterest board and collecting different ideas I've come to an initial conclusion. I like the idea of Double Exposure where two pictures are layered and optimised to create an effect. This will make up the front cover of my Digipak. On the back I will include the initial conventions to allow the audience to become familiar with the style. Using synergy I will try to correlate the images for the Digipak and magazine advert to match the style of music video.

These are the ideas I especially liked for the front of the Digipak.
I like the idea of using a human silhouette of our singer on the front along with a landscape image.





















The back of my Digipak will contain some sort of landscape like the ones below:

Indie-folk Digipaks

I decided to look at some digipaks of bands from our chosen genre (indie-folk) so that we could see what the typical conventions are. My research is below.


According to my research the conventions of a digipak for the ‘indie-folk’ genre follow an ‘old-style'. Both digipaks I looked at have a vintage look which adds an element of ‘folk’. The front of both album covers only include one relaxed image and the title of the album. The production company logo and bar code are included and the he colours are dull, they are not bright and eye catching like the colours of a digipak from the ‘pop’ genre would be.
