Digipack Analysis 2
I have decided to research this back cover of a digipack by Amiee Mann called 'Lost in Space.' I have chosen this because the track listing is in the top left corner and the image is placed in the bottom half; this is the layout I hope to use on my back cover. I like how the website address is included in the bottom left corner and the record logos are in the bottom right, they are little additions which contribute hugely to the simplistic style. For me, the clearest aspect of this cover is the fact that there is information printed in all for corners; I like this order and structure. Having information in all corners allows the image to feature centrally and have no obvious obstructions, I think this allows the eye to move freely around the page. The text is printed in white on a black or dark blue background, allowing it to stand out and be easy to read and understand. I like how the writing is small; this would often be avoided to ensure easy reading. However, due to the surrounding background being clear solid colour for about 1cm outwards, the text, especially the track listing, is clear, bold and evident - regardless of the small size text.

Digipack Research
I have analysed the digipack for Rihanna's album 'Loud' for one reason - there is a variety of human shot types included: extreme close up, medium and long shots. The digipack I plan to produce will also include a number of human shots from different angles with different shot types, therefore I have analysed this example to potentially gain inspiration and ideas for my own work. Regardless of the fact that Rihanna is a female and our video will feature a male, the same types of shot can be used. I have also decided to analyse the back page of a digipack by Amiee Mann, the dark simplistic style with a single main landscape image is the look I too want to achieve.
My partner Sarah has also analysed two digipacks by Mumford and Sons and Imagine Dragons. We plan to compare our collected research and use each others findings to sculpt our own inspiration to create our final digipacks.

Poster - Research
For my album promotional poster I hope to attempt to do some sort of face/location merging much like these examples:

Poster Research
I have decided to analyse two music promotional posters:
- 'Only By The Night' by the Kings of Lion
- 'Sigh No More' by Mumford and Sons
I have chosen these posters because they both contain numerous photos of males. I am intrigued by the dark tones used in both posters and want to study these choices used with font colour and photo colour adjusting to achieve a similar colour range in my poster. I like how in both posters there is very little text at the bottom of the page, this is an approach I wish to take also. In Sigh No More I like the clean cut image of four equally sized squares all containing similar images of men; I could potentially replicate this is in my poster or album by using for same sized images creating one large square. In the 'Only By The Night' poster there are a number of images merged into one to create a final miss-shaped male head, I love this idea and could potentially choose to work on something similar.
My partner Sarah has also analysed two promotional posters by 'The Weekend' and 'The 1975.' These are both printed in black and white which is a route I could potentially take by using shadows and heavy tonal work. I will discuss her research findings with her and gather any information I can.
