For my digipack, I am planning on using photoshop to manipulate photographs of famous Hollywood beauty icons using a Black & White colour scheme with little dashes of red.
For the front of the digipack, I am going to photoshop a picture of Marilyn Monroe to distort her face. This matches the songs lyrics (You're not so pretty now) by using of photo of a famousley beautiful person and using Photoshop to morph thier face into a bizzare, Surrealist image.
This photo of Marilyn Monroe is ideal for my digipack cover as it already follows my colour scheme (black and white photo, red lipstick, an idea I am also using in my music video). I am manipulating a photo of Monroe because she is an icon and even after I've played around with the image on photoshop, it is still clear who it is in the photo. I am also going to put the band and album name at the top of the photo in bright red letters.
For the rest of the digipack (apart from the back cover, which will be plain black with all text in red) I will continue this similer theme, using either pictures of just Monroe or photos of other famous/glamorous Hollywood actresses of that time (Audrey Hepburn, Elizibeth Taylor, Rita Hayworth ect).
My idea of using distorted versions on human faces is influenced mainly by British artsist Dave Mckean, who works mainly in comic books and album art and uses painting, drawing and photos to create bizzare images and strange looking faces, including the creepiest looking Joker I have ever seen.
Other photos that I could morph and use in the album art.
