Digipak research into similar genre

 Digipaks are used to help construct the star image of the band/artist, it includes similar themes, styles and colours to the music video. 

For my band's album artwork, it must include either the whole band or the lead singer, or whoever member from the band to represent their image. 

Front: 

name of band (What your selling) 

album name

I have researched into similar album artwork of bands which convey a similar genre to our campaign. 

No Doubt is a pop/punk rock band, their album covers includes the lead female singer representing the band on the front cover. The bold font of the band is centre focus while the album name is smaller further down. While the back is more artistic and doesn't really focus on the whole band. Their album argues a more artistic style and obscure photos.

The bangles is a female pop/rock band, their album cover presents the whole band, the colour schemes of black and pink are similar to our campaign. Their band name is also the name of their album 'The best of the'. It is a simple design however clearly shows the band members, their style and track list on the back. The font is playful and looks as if it has been hand written on, this creates a rebellious effect.

Here is some of a band called 'The Donnas' album covers and a back cover. Their clearly a pop rock band indicated by the instruments which we see them holding in center focus. All the albums show them photographed in, along with some artistic aspects with d to portray a fun rock style. Their band name is in the middle top in all of their albums, with the name of the album written smaller below. On the back cover we see the track list along with another image of the whole band which indicates the main focus. 

Finally, this female rock band called 'Vixen' shows the front cover as a motorbike photographed with a female's heal, the contrast of the manly motorbike and high heel suggests a rock theme. The back cover shows the band altogether with the song list.

In conclusion from researching into similar digipaks related to our genre of campaign They all have imagery of the whole band or the lead singer to represent the bands image and also hints of artistic styles in common. This helps me identify what I will need to include in my digipak design for my band in order to make it clear what genre, style and gender the band is.
