Digipak front cover

The front cover of my digipak is colourful bright and stands out as well as being a reference to the 1979 film Quadrophenia, which our music video tries to recreate the themes set in the film. The intertextuality will flatter those who get the reference, as well as remind those of the themes set in the Quadrophenia film. The front cover is of the band posing down the famous alley way, used in the film and creates intimacy between the band and audience. The cover of the digipak carries over the theme of reminiscence set in the video by not only referencing a film made 36 years ago, that is itself nostalgic of events in 1964, but by the colours used. I effected the colours by altering the curves and focused on bringing the red and orange colours out of the picture to create the ''super 8'' look, which runs throughout the video. The font I have used in is imposing and fades away, matching the theme of the video. The blur also creates a theme of reflecting on time, which is again a theme developed in the video. In the cover we also use the bands logo again for reiteration of the bands name as well as promotion for the merchandise.


My digipak has taken influence from Oasis' Definitely Maybe cover, with the effect on the colours and brightness of the image. This cover is more natural than, as in mine the band are posing, however the colours and the togetherness of the band are reiterated in our video.
