Digipak inspiration

In order to get inspired for the creation of my digipak cover I carried out my primary research by analysing album covers and general layout of several musicians and celebrities that are similar to Amy; either in their genre or fan base.

Christina Aguilera is just one of many artists I took ideas from. Her album covers are notorious for fresh, innovative ideas and looks. In the album cover for ‘Your Body’ I think the effect of black and white is largely aesthetically pleasing.

This made me consider the use of a black and white shot of Amy. Although different in its imagery, I believe that it has a similar effect.

Ke$ha is one of the most unique mainstream pop artists that exist today. Her song “Crazy Kids” where this shot is from tagrets the same audience “With A

Smile” would; 10-17 year old girls.

I think this silhouette shot is fascinating and really thought-provoking. It can be interpreted as coming out of a dark place through the following shot.

These shots inspired me to think this shot might be a good album cover.
