Advanced Portfolio: Band Webpage and Digipak Design Template

On our website we will reflect the band's rock style by using grunge fonts and a grunge logo. The background will be patches sewn together to reflect the raw and basic side of the band. We feel these attributes will appeal to the band's target audience. There are also links at the bottom of the page to Facebook/Twitter etc. so the fans can follow the band and read the most recent news. The home page of the website will contain news about the band and upcoming gigs.









Digipak Cover Research
The cover art for our digipak will be of a long road which stretches into the horizon. The land surrounding the road will be baron and without life. This is to reflect the theme of the song, in that it is a struggle to go to sleep/struggle to keep walking down the long road. It is 'in his way' between him and what he wants. The logo of the band will be at the top of the cover with the title of the single written underneath.

The back of the digipak will be simple, as the road on the cover art is surrounding by baron landscape, we feel that if there is a lot on the back cover it will not fit in with the theme. It will contain the tracklist, including the music video which we are making for "In My Way". The back cover will also include the MySpace address for Alaska's band profile and the logo for their record label "Hit And Run Records".

Inside will be a booklet and a photo of the band with the lyrics printed underneath. The overall colour scheme will be dark and the photo of the band will reflect their rock influences. The lyrics will be included so that the people who buy the CD can read and interpret the song how they want to, but can also understand the theme of insomnia. The picture on the actual CD will be simple, with just the band's logo and "In My Way" written underneath.
