Digi-Pak Ideas

Brain Storming ideas. 

I put down some ideas within class of possible ideas for the album cover, some of these ideas I defiantly want to incorporate, like the classic guitar, which would imply the use of a guitar in the song, which there is, as well as the use of the guitar is often heard in folk songs. 

Black and white photos often have many benefits to them, like they often bring a classic "air" about them, which is what I want to be perceived when you see the cover, also with black and white there is no colour to distract me, when I'm taking the photograph, and the audience when they see it, as shadows appear deeper, and highlights pop. Also it forces the audience to look deeper into the photograph, as there is less to distract them. The use of the B&W is a definite possibility.  

The use of the newspapers would reveal the "information" behind the song and would really connect the album cover to the song, but I'm unsure of how I would do this, as photographing newspapers in a original way while including other factors like the guitar, would be hard, if this newspaper idea isn't used, I'd hope some else can be included to fully connect the album cover to the song. 

Also getting ideas from artists like the Beatles and REM would also benefit me greatly, as I could establish what factors are seen in all folk/pop style of album art work, this would mean I could include various ideas/objects connoting the genre as well as revealing an inter-textual reference to other artists.
