Digipack template ideas

 This allows minimal inlays but allows a different and slightly indie design.

 this is an even more individual design. it allows lots of inlays, and a card design, which would fit with he indie genre.

 This is a booklet style template. it allows for many inlays and could be linked include some intertextuality with the way it could link with a book.

this is the traditional CD/digipack design. we have decided to put our own individual pin on this traditional design to give it an indie feel to match the genre and style of the artist. we decided to include a small booklet with the front cover on one side and filled with inlays.

magazine advert anaylsis

Jake Bugg single advert analysis
although this is the advert for a single we can still apply conventions and ideas to our advert as the artist is from the same genre.
We can clearly see links to his website. this links to the fact indie artists want to make a connection to their audience, and so give extra things to them.
it includes very low key lighting, and possibly a black and white effect.  it creates a vintage feel which links to his vintage style music.
The layout is very simple and not too fancy. this links to his indie genre,  of simple and not overly manufactured.
the links to radio 1 is a very prominent feature of the video. it will enable the audience to know he is a legitimate artist and maybe think they will enjoy his music due to the fact they like other radio 1 music.

Vampire Weekend
This, like the Jake Bugg advert, is very simplistic. like a lot of indie artists, they have included the bare minimum, allowing the artist name and album title to be the most prominent feature of the image.

Digipack ideas 2

We are considering including the use of techniques such as metaphors, connotations, denotations, symbols, content signs and font. 
metaphors/connotations/symbols- The title of the album is tearing back the wallpaper, our front cover is going to be a shot of torn wallpaper with brick wall behind it with the lyrics to Hazel Eyes on it. the metaphor that he is tearing back the wallpaper to reveal what's underneath. the connotations/symbols that he has been hiding behind this wallpaper and he is tearing it back to show his true feelings.
Content signs- we are going to include a guitar in the shot of the front cover to represent the fact he is a genuine real artist who creates his own music. 
Font- we have found a font to use on our album cover.
