This is two images from the band "The Strokes", i find these inspirational because in my music video I have gone with the common theme of my band being the main image, with close ups of the artists faces and mid angle shots of the whole band together, using these images i have created a music video which fits with the common criteria of an indie rock genre. With black and white images of bands wearing jeans and different dark colored shirts i have used a very common factor of the Indie rock genre.
Other bands such as "The Libertines" and "The Killers" also use this factor in album covers.
Some useful research here and your idea for the front cover (1st panel) for a 4 panel digipak is encouraging, though you need to experiment with ideas.
ReplyDeleteGoogle images for cover art for Ian Curtis (Joy Divison) and other classic rock bands. You have a lot of planning to catch up with, also you need to decide on the font for your band, other tracks that are on the album for Panel 4 (back cover), and planning how you will integrate text with image.
