Inspiration
When it came to our CD we took inspiration from real media products that show a photo of the artist/band facing forwards on the front cover and then facing away on the back cover. Some examples of this include McBusted's album. We thought that this would be useful for our CD front and back as it shows continuity in the style but also promotes the band's image as a group.
Star theory
Our CD digipak and our website can be applied to Dyer's theory as images of the band are shown throughout our package to promote them so fans know what they look like (apart from our music video that goes against it).
In our CD digipak, the band members are presented as being down to earth with the 'normal' clothing that they are wearing making consumers of their music feel as though they are on the same level, therefore, thus feeling more connected to them. The reason this presents them as 'stars' is it puts them in a positive light, making it more likely people will buy their product as they look like fun, original and talented
This shows us conforming to real products because bands such as One Direction and McFly presented themselves as people you know day to day for their albums and website photoshoots to get themselves more well known.
