Digipack - Credits Page

This is the credits page of the digipack containing all of the songs and who they were written by. This is a conventional aspect of a digipack.

Digipack - "A Few Words" Page

Any digipack of an album usually consists of a "Thank You" page, however, since Kaleidoscope Sun are all about the music, we wanted to make this brief, therefore, we titled it, "A Few Words". We put a cluster of four images of each band member on this page to make it look like it was stuck into a vintage notebook, which is the whole overall idea of oru digipack. We also briefly mention that Kaleidoscope Sun's fans are a "wolfpack" associating the fans with the album and giving them a nickname to feel more involved such as current artist, Lady Gaga, who refers to her fans as "Little Monsters".

Digipack - Lyrics Page 2

This is our second lyrics page using the song 'Like Cats'. We have still kept the same vintage and old look and have used a cat to associate lyrics with visuals. We have replaced the cats eyes with our recurring symbol of the triangle, which is the key symbol of Indie culture.

Digipack - Lyrics Page 1

This lyrics page from our digipack emphasises the aspect of fun of our band and keeps the colour scheme consistent by using brown and musky tones. We have also used both of my previous 'potential' digi pack images in order to keep the symbol of the wolf and also to be satirically humourous.

Audience Profile


I created this moodboard to portray my target audience, their main interests and ultimately what appeals to them. I have included male and female icons, such as Lana Del Rey, Caggie Dunlop, Edward Turner and Jamie Ryan Dee, from the teenage subculture I am aiming to attract, also I have included both genders as I feel my band will appeal to boys and girls.
In addition, fashion is also a key part of the indie culture and I have included key pieces which teens involved in this scene are often seen wearing and shops that they frequently buy from. On my moodboard I have shown brogue shoes, feather earrings, Ray-Ban wayfarer sunglasses, Urban Outfitters and Topshop.
The indie and hipster subculture is also quite symbolic, therefore I have put a triangle and crosses on my moodboard as they are recurring symbols. Teenagers involved often sport a triangle on their t-shirt or a cross on a piece of jewellery.
Teenagers can also be associated with recklessness, hence why I have put a picture of a girl smoking on my moodboard. The image is in black and white and looks quite vintage, another element of the indie scene.
Furthermore, social-networking is popular amongst teenagers, so I have put the Tumblr logo on my moodboard, which is a website that teenagers use to blog, meet new people and mostly post vintage pictures.
Lastly, I have used musical images that are similar to Kaleidoscope Sun. The Vaccines, Lana Del Rey, Pegasus Bridge, Reading Festival and Radio 1 all fall under this genre and would appeal to my target audience as well as Kaleidoscope Sun would.

Potential Digi Pack Images




These are my potential digi pack images. Our band, 'Kaleidoscope Sun' are being quite satirical by making fun out of big names in the music industry, but also being consistent with their album as it is called 'Wolfpack'. Here, I have images of One Direction and Jessie J, both successful in the music industry at the moment, but pictures of wolves on their heads. There is also a degree of quirkiness in this idea and I have been inspired by zany bands such as The Klaxons and Two Door Cinema Club.

Shotlist Movie



This is the shotlist we created for our music video. We used Windows Movie Maker and post-it notes to create a rough shotlist for what we want our video to look like.
