Looking at front covers of other Indie bands has helped me identify typical characteristics of a front cover. The name of the band seems to always be in a unique font that suits the band and creates a brand identity. I will apply this to my digipak by using dafont.com to find a font to suit my band. I have also noticed how the image seems to be the main focus of the front cover. They are usually images of the band in some shape or form. In many Indie band front covers they have merged the band members together. I like this idea and plan to experiment with pictures of my band members to apply this feature to my digipak front cover. The colour schemes are usually a theme of bright colours or simple grey or black and white colours, depending on the emotion of the band. My band are a very unemotional band and so I intend on using a colour scheme of perhap two or three bright colours.
