Whilst doing research for our digipack we came across a certain one that inspired us which was the Oasis ‘Definitely Maybe’ front cover. We really liked how relaxed and ordinary they appeared and wanted to do something similar in our digipack.

This is our contact sheet:

We were originally thinking of creating a triangle shelf for one of the covers of our digipack however we did not have time to create one or find one anywhere. However, Beth had a shelf in her house which is just horizontal but worked well instead.

Some of the band photos we captured were good but in my opinion I think we could have explored more locations to shoot and use interesting, unique composition to fit with our genre if we had more time to do so.

I prefer the first band photo because of their body language and composition. This works better for this genre rather than the second photo as this one looks staged, unnatural and more boy band-like. Additionally, the first photo is inspired by the Oasis front cover which I mentioned earlier.

I really like the textured background to this image with the black dots. We were thinking of putting the 4 pairs of shoes on the inside right cover where the CD traditionally goes.

We also experimented with these shoes on different backgrounds such as on the floor inside the Grammar School and on the outside floor but I don’t think these worked as well in my opinion.

We captured a photo of a light bulb in which we could edit onto our back cover. We decided put the light on which looked quite effective.
