1. 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.
2. 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.
