Final Digipack

My digipack follows the conventions of a digipack of the same genre. Other indie bands digipack I looked at were, Muse HAARP. They had the main title as the largest letters with small silhouettes of the band and there instruments within the writing. I similarly used silhouettes of the band to hide there identity and create an abstract look, also by doing this I added a colour overlay to the members of the band to follow my colour scheme, black white and red. This again is similar to Muse as they had black, gold and silver. My background colour is grey, this way it wasn't to strong on the eyes and felt as though the grey worked better than solid black, this is because a lot of indie bands have used solid black so i went against the conventional slightly in order for it to stand out above the rest, plus with it being grey it means the main focus will go straight to the red and white silhouettes rather than anywhere else.
On the back of the digipack is the 4 band members but they are reversed which will make the audience look at it twice as the band members are facing a different way and in a different order to those on the front. However this time there is no cover overlay this is crucial for a debut DVD as the audience its appealing to may not even know what the band look like. So adding the band members in a unconventional way, which will trick the eye as they are in the same position but because i flipped it over the band are facing the opposite way and looking the opposite way which may confuse whoever buys it.
Iv'e stayed with the same colour scheme throughout as this is what is used in the majority of DVD's I researched, too many colours make it look busy and unappealing to the eye, using a simple colour scheme gives the audience something to look at and focus on.

  

As this is a digipack i had to design the 2 inside panels as well. I decided to add a photo of the band. This shot is a close up allowing the audience to see the bands faces. This photo has alot of colours however this is different to the front cover so all in all it's not too much going on and sort of contrasts each other but links at the same time as the band that are on the back cover are wearing the same as what they are wearing in the inside panels. 

Looking at other digipacks such as The Clash, on the front cover is more graphic based and artistic with a green and yellow colour scheme whereas on the inside it is the band performing with a red filter over. I've followed similar conventions where on the front its artistic based and more graphic work. And on the inside is just a simple photo acknowledging the band. With sticking to my colour scheme on the outside but changing it on the inside. Although i have the band on the front as well as the inside is slightly unconventional as The Clash didn't do that they only featured the band on the inside, however The Clash are a much bigger more mainstream band they don't need to show themselves as they will already have a fanbase who know exactly who they are and what they look like. Whereas Os Vampiros aren't a mainstream band and actually are just an upcoming band, therefore the more i show of the band the more the audience will recognise them. If Os Vampiros were a bigger band then yes i wouldn't feature them on my front cover as this is what my research has showed me.
