Example Digipak

We hope to make a digipak similar to this one. The design will have 6 covers (3 outer and 3 inner) that we will put images directly from our music video on. Also we will use a two disc digipak instead of the one. The second disc will be bonus materials and extra footage. Also we hope to possibly include an artbook however this may be a bit difficult due to time issues.

Example Album Covers

SMOKE & MIRRORS


This album cover uses smoke as the image whilst it is basic it is also effective. Although we are planning to use smoke in the image we are planning to have another image as well. Also we plan on using more smoke and a yellow light.



TAKE MY BREATH AWAY

This album uses a strong image that also is relevant to the title. The album is colorful and eye catching, also because of the powerful image it makes people look twice. The image is shows children in gas masks which is quite relevant to today's society where children are under threat from terrorism and war. Because the gas mask played a key role in our video we felt we should incorporate it into our CD cover. By combining the gas mask with the smoke we hope to create a foreboding image that catches the audiences eye.

Overall the two covers incorporate two major images we plan on using in our cover and we feel they would work effectively with each other by using smoke and a single image we hope to avoid an overfilled cover but also we sidestep the obstacle of having an isolated image that could make the album look unappealing to potential buyers of the album.

SPACE MONKEYZ

Space Monkeyz was formed by Darren Galea coming together when he created a dub remix of "Tomorrow Comes Today". Once the Gorillaz founder Damon Albarn had listened to the song he subsequently asked the group to remix the entire album resulting in "Laika Come Home" its only single "Lil' Dub Chefin" only managing to hit number 73 in the singles chart.

Like the Gorillaz, they are a virtual band (though not to the degree that Gorillaz are). According to the fictional Gorillaz biography Rise of the Ogre the group is an actual team of monkeys used in space tests who had stolen the tracks from an unattended Kong Studios and remixed them without Gorillaz’ permission. Having actually been mentioned in the fictional Gorrilaz biography it shows that they are quite well affiliated with the band and also have a good relationship with them. This particular example also shows how bands can be successfully formed on a remix and then proceed to become (slightly) famous.
