Digipak moodboard

To generate appropriate and applicable ideas for our CD digipak me and my group created individual moodboards inspired by the themes of Ska and digipaks of other Ska bands as to stick to the conventions to successfully. This has helped me to visualise how to present our star image when we come to produce the digipak. It is essential to include all the band members on the cover of the album as it shows the importance of togetherness and teamwork in the Ska. I also envisage an industrial setting that is consistent throughout the digipak to reflect themes of hardship and struggle which was prevalent when Ska was gaining popularity.

Marcus had a similar vision to me calling upon the colorful and fun nature of ska to be prevalent in our digipak design. He thought the use of funny costumes and a satirical theme would be an effective way to communicate the genre by showing the band being let loose. Simon called upon the classic themes of ska with the black and white checkers being an integral factor as well as suave costume reflecting the mod subculture of the time. He also recognized the need for the design to be happy and show the band having fun. Below you can view all our digipaks, mine is the final one.
