Last Years Digipack And Advert


Looking at group 35s digipack i thought it was a very nicely present album cover with a colour scheme that works well, and fits well with their bands genre of indie Rock. Looking at the front of their album cover you can tell straight away that these guys are a rock band due to there being a huge guitar leading on an amp. Their band name is printed in a bold black font, which many Rock bands such as metallica, slipknot and trivium use for their album covers. Also the colour scheme is carried on towards the back of the album, just like the front its a white background, Black for ground and hints of red in places. Also carrying on with the guitar theme of the front at the bottom their is a big guitar lead, again showing continuity with the front cover. The fonts and colours used for the track list are the same as the fonts and colours used in the front cover, however there is a mix up of black and red for each song on the list making it less plain. On the inside panel their is a nice picture of the band jamming with their instruments, with a colour filter so every thing is white with black out lines and red shading, just like the pictures of the guitar and guitar lead in the front and back covers, keeping that continuity. Also instead of a thank you like most pop artists, because of  the genre of music these guys play they have got each member of the band and wat instrument they play. 

The advertisement is a poster for the albums release, they keep the black, white and red theme by making the entire background of the poster the front cover of the album. So straight away you are drawn to this big guitar in the middle and release what kind of music these guys play. Again the fonts used for the album are the same for the writing on the poster, with star ratings from two rock magazines, as well as the stars are also coloured one black one red like the track list in the album. Information about the albums release is also on the poster along with where to purchase the album, along with the bands webb site in fine print and logo of the record company on the bottom right band corner. Just as you would find in a real advert poster.
