The Grunge Style

There are some key elements that I am going to need to use with my digipack, after researching into the grunge genre and different style of art I have made a list of key aspects that seems to appear in most of these styles.

  • Dirty, old look to backgrounds and objects
  • Abstract, simple images which has a lot symbolism on a lot of different things 
  • Irregular, nasty looking visual elements 
  • Vintage frames to create a washed up feel to the images
  • Sometimes shots of the band together with serious expression and body language
These key features create an unconventional but yet a very creative look which will not be seen in any other genre of music. This style of either album art, posters, exclusive art or digipacks as a whole are very unique, when designing my own digipack I will incorporate these ideas. For example, i could have a shot of the band with abstract images behind us and plain background, I can then use effects and make it look more darker and grittier so its fits the styles and traditions of the grunge genre. Even a background image such as the one below could be an effective background, when placed with images of the band and other images it could look creative and grungy.
