These pictures are test shots for my digipak. I like the photos where i have used depth of field. I plan to edit these photos like in the plan for my digipak. Perhaps I could use these photos to create a lyric book?

Digipak plan and stuff

This is my digipak plan (so far).

1. (Pink circle with lines through it) I plan to have the band members face aligned and edited with a neon colour scheme for the front cover.

2. (The green and grey thing with grey blocks) This is the back cover, the grey block represent track listing. I plan to have a landscape image with the image of the band faded into it. 

3. (the sound board) To represent the electronic side, I plan to have an image of the studio/ instruments/ sound board. 

4. (The audience) I want an image of a live performance/ audience to represent the rock/ indie genre, but also the neon lights to show electronic. I think this will work well since there will be a dvd accompanying the cd within the digipak. 

5. (The question mark) I am unsure what to put there as of now. 

6. (They grey circle) A Chiaroscuro image of the band - shows them as a brand. 

I tried another generator - which I don't really like. 

I found this font on dafont, which I would like to try. 

Experimenting

I was influenced by neon signs like these:

Perhaps I could create a sign for Symptoms that follows this. 

I found an online generator and used that - but I'm not sure how I feel about it.

So I created my own version which I dislike. I think I should use glowsticks or find a font that would make it work. 

Stuck

I think I'm really stuck for ideas right now; what I want my artist to look like and how I want my digipak to look.

I looked at bands that were similar to my own.

The Killers:

This is what the band look like; I like this casual style that they wear, but I think it's a little too dressy for my band. I like the use of colour in the album cover and is something that I would like to use on my own. I have an idea of neon colours to be used in my album to adhere to the conventions of the electronic genre. 

AWOLNATION : 

The like the style which AWOLNATION wear; I think it's really casual and laid back - something I want my band to be similar to. I like the obscure album cover and the colour palette, which is conventional of the genre for Electronic Indie Rock. 

Foster The People:

I like the artsy image for the album cover; I would really like to illustrate something so this album cover; if not then play around with editing photographs from the photo shoot I will take. The band also wear casual clothes like AWOLNATION which I really like and think connotes my band well. 

Overall, I think I want my artist to look similar to this: 

I still think that the band Symptom, should focus more on the frontman rather than the band behind it. I think maybe 2 or 3 other guys that look similar to this would be enough to complete the band. 

I think if I take some chiaroscuro images such as these: 

 

I think it could look aesthetically pleasing for my digipak for the band.
