Shots for digipak

I like this shot as it has the potential to be manipulated and used within a different scenario.

It also appeals to the audience demographic of Smaller Than You as it shows a young male and the skateboard is relevant to the music video.









I would like this to be used for the front cover of my digipak as it depicts rebellion which is relevant to the genre ska. It does by making it seem as though the skateboard is the graffitti figure climbing over the wall giving the scenario that he's stealing or sneaking back home after a late night.









This shot has potential for either the back of the digipak or the inside cover. I used a close up of a young male in order to appeal to the audience demographic. This is a response to the album cover used for the Arctic Monkeys with 'Whatever People Say I am I'm Not.'

The album cover I feel is relevant to my audience demographic as it shows teen rebellion and a young male.
This photo could work as the front cover. I'd want to make this image black and white.


I like the reflection of this shot as it looks as though the graffitti is a shadow of what the male is going to do or has done. It could also give the impression of what everyone associates a person in a hoody to do. This therefor would work well as the album cover or the inside sleeve.

Ideas for digipak taken from stills in the video for Smaller Than You

These are some ideas of how I want to present my digipack cover from stills taken from my music video.

This has potential to either be the back or front of the digipak. Throughout our music video we used skateboarders as due to the research of our target audience this would appeal to our young male demographic. Therefore within this shot I've used a still from the video where the young skateboarder is in anglia square and started to cover the road in drumsticks using photoshop. Due to the poor quality of this image I'll have to shoot it again . I've tried to cover up the poor
quality by adding a filter to the image.


I think this is an image which would work well on the inside cover or back of the digipak as the far left side has space to put track names or just to leave blank. This image, like the previous, would be too pixilated to use as a larger image therefore it would have to be used within a montage or repeated over.





This image represents britishness as it is a similar image to that used by the beatles for their album cover 'Abby Road.' This image gives an iconic ska twist to this famous album cover of The Beatles and therefore represents iconic Britishness within the band Smaller Than You and the origins of ska. This picture would work best on the inside behind the CD or on the back of the digipak.
