Inspiration for our Website

In terms of inspiration for our website, we thoroughly researched that of other bands in relative genre's to that of our own. Following this research we were able to come to a conclusive structure as to how we wanted the layout of our website to look and what content we wanted to have on our website. In terms of the websites style, we decided we wanted to go for a similar look to that of bands Alt-J, in terms of using a Splash page, Toy, In terms of the content we wanted on our page and The Horrors whose colour coordination and imagery was appealing to us.

Finalizing Our Digipack

As we did with the editing of our video, following the creation of our Digipack we decided that in would be wise to work to view the Digipack together as a group and critique and edit it in order to get the best possible final product. We made less significant changes this time than we did with the editing of the video, but again we noticed mistakes and implemented changes specifically in terms of tightening up the cross shape in which Eve is being consumed by so that her body was more central in the image in order to get a smoother final result.

Creating our Digipack: Step Four

For the final panel for our Digipack we decided against simply having an image of the band in an attempt to challenge the conventions of real media products and instead decided to have scrawled handwriting, again using a font from DaFont.com called BasicSharpie Regular, in which we took inspiration from the writing inside Jennifer Kent's book within the film the Babadook, heavily inspired by abstract and conceptual art which keeps in tone with our music video. Following our group listening to various different lyrics we found on the original bands sound cloud, we chose various different lyrics which we believed to be best suited in terms of coinciding with the themes and tone present within our video. Following the addition of these lyrics onto our panel we distorted the lyrics using the Transform and Warp button on photoshop which allowed to us to achieve the surrealist edge we had previously hoped for.
