Research and Planning of the artwork

I created this image using Photoshop. The title of the band is eye catching and aided by the fiery border. If we were to continue using this design idea, we would try to recreate this image, or something similar, in real life.

These are different album artworks
that fall indie the Indie Rock Genre 

We experimented with crumpling and burning paper and taking photographs with flash/ no flash in order to discover the best way of exposing the band name

We decided not to have a photo shoot of the band and make that the main image of the DigiPak because of our research indicated to us that using quirky and unusual album artwork was more popular to illustrate the image of the band. However, as our band is new, we decided that on one of the pages we would include printed photographs of the band scattered on the work top to introduce the band members 

A quick annotated drawing of the first ideas
of our album artwork for the DigiPak

The main intention for the DigiPak is tot communicate with the audience that Lion The Weak is a new band and by using a work bench background, we are showing that they are not a finished product and are a work in progress 

The idea of taking 'Birds Eye View' shots of the work bench was inspired from The George Ezra music video Cassy O' - this video has been the creative influence for a lot of our decisions throughout the process - because George Ezra falls under the same Indie Pop genre as Lion The Weak
