This is the digipak for The Hoosiers' album The Trick To Life, which is where their song Goodbye Mr. A can be found. They have opted to use an image for the album which I think works with the title; the use of the eyes and twisting hands gives the impression of mystery and illusion, fitting in with 'The trick to life'. The band have also released the album in a variety of different colours which gives each specific colour more rarity and prestige when owned.
Next, I thought I would try and find some digipak covers that depicted the band as I wanted to find out what sort of posture, positioning and expressions they have in the pictures. From what I have seen, the band tend to use a mid shot of the three of them, with the lead singer Irwin Sparkles in the centre. This helps to show the image of the band off and gives the reader a visual representation of them so if they see The Hoosiers elsewhere they will recognise them.
I think that for my digipak design I will try to combine these two aspects by having the three of the band on the cover but adding props or art to contribute to a mysterious and magical feel. I will use Paint to create some test digipaks and work out what will be the best design variation for the album, before getting the band from my video to have some photos taken of them ready for the final digipak.
