Digipak Original Inspiration



JME's album cover is a  conventional album cover, which is very similar to the style that Dizzee Rascal uses. JME and Dizzee Rascal are the main pioneers of grime in the United Kingdom, and their album covers represent that. Blam! and Bonkers both have comparisons in colour and style.





Sean Paul's album She Doesn't Mind is comparable to Bonkers because it is based on a song and not just a whole and complete album. The background of both She Doesn't Mind and Bonkers is red and use bold writing for the name of the artist and the title of the song. We plan to incorporate this into our own album cover.






The Fort Minor The Rising Tied album cover is very different to the Dizzee Rascal Tongue n' Cheek. Unlike the stereotypical hip hop and grime album covers there is no picture of the artist and instead has a variety of cartoon images. The cartoon pictures makes it look unique but the graffiti style writing is often used in different album covers.

The Black Eyed Peas have used a cartoon elephant surrounded by the four main stars of The Black Eyed Peas. This has a similar feel to Bonkers because the bold font is like the title and the main artist. Despite the colour of the background is different to Bonkers the ideology is the same.



Dizzee Rascal's album Tongue n' Cheek has the qualities we are looking for, for our album cover. The amusing bold cartoon font makes the album seem funny, just like we are trying to do for our music video. The way that Dizzee Rascal is in the album represents a stereotypical hip hop and grime album, due to the fact that the majority of hip hop and grime album covers have the main artist.
