Chase and status, digipaks and more..

Despite not really liking Chase and Status myself, I really like this album cover. It's bold and eye catching and not entirely serious which fits in with their style of music and the videos that go along with them. The bright yellow makes the cover look modern despite the photo of the dog being black and white. The genre of music being drum and bass, means that the actual artists behind it are more DJ's than singers or musicians. Therefore, unlike a solo singer band or accoustic artist it is not necessary for a picture of Saul Milton and Will Kennard to be on the front of the digipak. The symobolic image of the dog instead, was described by them in an interview I found on 'artist direct' as giving the album a 'punky british feel'

'More than alot' Is Chase and Status's debut album, and encompasses the same bold bright colours and new rave feel as 'no more idols'. As their debut, it was their first chance at attracting their audience. I think that the bright pink, graffiti style image would definately appeal to an audience into dubstep, drum and bass and the clubbing. It has rebellious connotations and reflects the grimy rave scene their music plays to.

This is a digipak front cover from Plan B. I picked this because his music is of similar genre to Chase and Status, and he features in the song we have chosen to use. The mis en scene is dark and theatrical; he is sat on some sort of stage, but the lights give a city feel. His suit and the way he is half engulfed in shadow makes the picture look mysterious and dark, reflecting his lyrics and musical genre.
