Band Images

To create a good brand identity my group have decided to have a photo shoot to create our own Hollywood Undead band. We used the masks we created and took some shots off all the band together. These images will be shown on the web page and digipak. It will show that we have not only made the music video but we have created the whole package including band, video and website. These shots will especially be used on the back cover of the digipak as it says so on my plan. I look forward to editing the images to give them better effects.

Digipak Plan

This is my CD/Digipak plan.

This plan shows the front, back and inside covers. I have decided to stick with the themes of the masks. The front cover will be the image I used for the advert on my webpage of the new single. The back cover will be the shot in the music video where the boy drops the mask and runs off, however we are going to put an image of the band wearing the seven (six) deadly sins masks just behind the mask to create a good back cover image. I don't think I will put the track listing on here because it is a single so no tracks will really need to be listed except for the single, however the title of the song will be produced on the front cover, along with the bands name. I may change my mind about this however closer to the time as I will see what the finished product looks like.

The inside covers will be half of each mask used in the video. This will show the gold and silver masks on different colour backgrounds. It will be different to show the different acts in the video of the two masks. Showing the opposite sides to each mask can show a sense of equality, or 'coming together as one' to show that even though the colours are different and the one mask is smiling and one is frowning, they can still create one mask, creating one person, one world etc.

Designing our band masks

Today we created our band masks. We needed this to create our own iconography and also images for our digipak and webpage.

We wanted to follow the bands idea of using masks, however we didnt want to design our masks the same as theirs so we wanted an idea of our own. We then come up with the seven deadly sins which are lust, gluttony, greed, pride, envy, sloth and wrath. This gave us an idea to create masks for each of these and call these the bands. We used the silver masks we used in the music video and decorated, cut and designed each mask to create and band look.

These are the gluttony, greed, wrath, lust, pride and sloth.

We decided to not do envy as we felt that 6 band members were enough and its not obvious that the masks are the seven deadly sins so therefore no one would notice that one was missing. We will begin our photo shoot next lesson.
