Analysis - Front Cover of the Digi Pack

For the front cover of the digi pack, we used a brick wall for the background for a number of reasons. Firstly, to follow the sterotype; many front covers for boy bands have a plan background to draw more attention to the members. Another reason, is that it represents the personalities of the band in general. The personalty being casual and easy to approach with the hint of having different sides to the members. 



I chose the boys being dressed in suits, this is again to follow sterotype as the members are all dressed simillar. This makes the bands audience appeal to young teenage girls but also older wemon as they are dressed 'smart casual.' However, they all each wearing something different e.g glasses hoocked on one of the members belt or without a suit jacket. The reasoning for this, is to create indiviuality and different personailties within the band.

Their sightlines are not facing the camera, to make the false impression that they are not aware of the picture being taken. Each individual member is standing in a different postion, this is to create the appearance that they are different and individual. 

Using photoshop, I decided that the background should be in black and white, to create the authentic look. In turn, it makes the band seem more approachable to the auidence as the overall image seems 'softer'. 

As a group, we chose the band and abulm name which will connect to the band and their audience. After a process of ulimation, we came up with the idea of 'Incorparated.' This means together or combined. The reason we chose this for the band name is that it signifies that the members all came together to create a boy band in which they now all work together as one.


With the abulm name we deiced that 'Self-Titled' would be the best name as its unique. The title is basic which allows the audicene to portary the name as they wish.

On the back cover of the digi pack, we have included the legal requirements that are needed for the album.

However, I believe that we could have improved our digi pack by two things. On the back cover, the writing that we selected is red, with this colour against the background, its not clearly visible.


With the colour of the font, another thing that I beleive would have improved our digi pack is the image on the back cover. It was the same as the front with an affect over the top. Although this connects both the front and back cover together, I feel that another image altogether could give the audience a wider varity.
