Back to Planning

In the connections between previous digipaks that I've looked at, all the magazine adverts and the digipaks related to each other. For example, in Florence and the Machine's Lungs, the designs and imagery were all very similar.
I also took the inspiration for my drawings from this album - on the back cover is the drawing of a pair of lungs, and that's where I decided to interpret that onto my own album, with my own twist.

I also got the idea of using a border from this design, of course I decided to make my border white to fit with my colour scheme and to balance out the contrast between black and white - however I took my design from the magazine advert of Kasabian, Empire. This is because I believe that it fitted best with the lay out of my magazine advert - even though the Kasabian advert wasn't in the same lay out as mine.

These designs really helped me to develop my own ideas - and although Kasabian isn't in the dance genre, in rock they are considered experimental and different, and so I think that the inspiration from them is appropriate - they're different from me, yet different from others like them, which is something that I was trying to achieve as well.
