Photographs

FontsBelow are images of album covers, singles, adverts and digipaks by the band Foals. When we make our digipak and album, we want to make it as realistic and similar to the actual band’s products as possible. To do this, we need to look at the already existing style, for example fonts.

From looking at these, we can see a theme; thick, block capitals usually with the colouring matching the background and rest of the cover. Below are some fonts that fit the appropriate style.

Colour Scheme After looking at album covers and posters from bands in the

indie genre, it has become apparent that the colour

scheme is reliant on the rest of the cover, whether it be a

photograph or drawing. Usually, the photograph has prominent colours in it. If we

use The Libertines album cover as an example, we can see that black, white and red

the most striking colours. Therefore, the font follows

this idea and a colour scheme is created throughout the

whole product. So, we have learnt that, for our product to

have a suitable colour scheme, it will rely heavily on the photograph we choose as

the main.

PhotographsAs part of the task is to keep continuity

across our music video, album advert and digipak, we have decided to use a still

from our music video as our front cover. This will enable us to link all 3 products together visually. We have learnt that a lot of bands in the same genre do this,

and our existing research shows that the album cover is usually the image used on

adverts. By using a still from our video, we hope that the audience of our digipak will appreciate the running theme. Here

are some of the possible photographs we could use, which were all taken while

filming our music video.
