These are my ideas for After Midnights digipak. The front shows the girls all laying down on the grass with their hair everywhere, this shows the nature side and is the theme to the album. On the left panel is a picture of the girls looking directly to the camera making the audience feel connected to them, it is also the only image that shows the girls looking towards the camera, engaging the audience, making them feel as if the album is aime specially towards them. This idea came from You Me At Six's album 'Sinners Never Sleep'.
The inside is all one image of the girls, laying down with empty bottles of vodka, alcohol, rubbish surrounding them. This idea came from the name, as the name gives connotations of staying up late and partying i wanted to display this within the digipak. I also wanted the digipak to show a narrative, so the first few images are when the girls are first out and about and the inside is toward the end.
I wanted the back image to be simple, so not taking any attention away from the song listing. The back shows the girls later, only showing the back of their figures with the sun setting behind them. I have thought about the typography of the bands name and the track listing to be in white as it has been said to be the most readable colour.
As the band are an indie rock band i wanted to give the audience a treat as most indie rock artist do, i decided to make a DVD of the band called 'Rising Up' that will feature them at concerts and a little documentary into the band. The title 'Rising Up' comes from the band starting in secondary school and gadually making their way to fame, hense the rising. The album also contains three individual pictures of the band, this idea again comes for You Me At Six's album.
