More Funk Digipaks

Funk music uses a variety of colours. Neon and bright colours are commonly used as well as dark pink and purple, quite often used to be suggestive of a sexual nature, usually reflected in the music video. An excellent example artist is Snarky Puppy. A group composed of lots of musicians, they perform different genres, but usually delve into funk, jazz, and similar genres. They use lots of soft colours, and pleasant imagery. This is common for funk musicians as it distinguishes themselves from other genres. The simple cover is also common, as to show that they don't need distractions from the music.

Album cover for Prince

Prince, a world renowned artist, also uses simplistic album covers to sell his music. The theme of love is usually apparent, usually being the main focus of the cover. This cover isn't as explicit as others, although does contain Prince topless. The colour scheme and overall design is very similar to Vulfpeck's, as reflected by the simplistic style.

We decided to approach our digipak in a similar way to that of Vulfpeck's Fugue state song. We decided, as Vulfpeck use bright colours we would do the same.

We picked this colour, a light sky blue (specifically the hex code #9bbede), as Vulfpeck did for Fugue State. We noticed that their song/album covers are relatively simplistic, yet very stylised. We went with this approach, seeking to create a simplistic album, representative of Vulfpeck's and we stuck with the same colour conventions.













Funk albums tend to use curly, bubbly fonts that is displayed with their music. These fonts on album covers, posters, and more are a very common sight for the funk genre.
