[ANCILLARY RESEARCH] - Extra Digipak Research

Extra Digipak Research

While working on my outer cover of the digipak, I looked through other digipaks with Chenny for more inspirations and ways to justify my ideas, such as my use for a long shot instead of a close up like majority digipaks. 

Firstly we looked at random digipaks on google and they showed most of the covers to use close ups so at this moment I can't lie I was panicking as I did not want to go out on a Photoshoot getting more pictures and I was unsure of the groups availability. Also I really like the image I have originally chosen. Here's our first set of findings...

Next we had a look at debut album covers, which didn't really give me any hope either. Again the same theme of close ups were repeated. Until I saw Frank Ocean - Channel Ocean. I was like Thank the lord. Frank Ocean is a PBRnB artist and his cover has no imagery. This debut album of his was quite successful and added to the simplicity theme of the genre that I also want to portray. 

I now feel more confident as to how I want our artist to be portrayed through her digipak.
