Inspiration: Two Door Cinema Club.

Whilst designing my digipak and website, I have been researching and getting inspiration from other bands which are similar to our artist.

Two Door Cinema Club are an Irish indie rock/pop band. They're style of music is similar to our artist and therefore would have a similar target audience. 

This is their album cover, like other bands that I have looked into they have not actually used a image of the artist on the album cover.

They have used a recognizable and identifiable font on the cover and a picture of a cat. This reminds me of the album cover for 'Contra' by vampire weekend as the picture has that slightly 'old style' film, grainy look and taken with a harsh flash. This particular style fits in with the indie trend and it looks cool and effortless. 

I prefer the album covers that are slightly more grungy and 'effortless' as they look cooler and would appeal more to the laid back audience, as it goes against the mainstream 'glossy' high production look that alot of pop music has, this is often seen as 'uncool'.


Their website front page has moving images on it, varying from videos of performances to relaxing clips of the sea. I really like this as it it more immersive than other websites and it hold the interest of the audience. It is also very aesthetically pleasing. (Click HERE to view the website)

I would consider something similar to this for my website, as the sea theme fits with my branding and I could use some clips from the music video, as well as including a separate photo shoot of the artist and some artistic images such as an abstract painting.
