Russia Inspired Digipak's

Whilst doing looking for inspiration from other bands digipaks I have come across a lot of popular bands that have utilised a very Russian Propganda style with their imagery.I was very intirgued as it appears that it is quite popular with target audiences similar to ours. One of the popular bands I found were Franz Ferdinand:

The straight lines emerging from her face reflect power and control is a lot like propaganda posters. The soviet propaganda poster below is extremely similar and the message emmited by the image seems to be one of pass on the word which is a very clever marketing technique to make the product popular.


The text on this soviet poster is very bold like the Franz Ferdinand front cover which fits in with the general style of the bold statement front cover.

paganda texts, to make up an A shape that stands for Athlete! The bold block colours make a big statement and have a connotation of power and brilliance.


This album cover for Art Brut vs. Satan has a distinct propaganda style feel to it with the lines and blocks of colour coming from set points as in this Chinese communist poster where the lines emanate from the man in the foreground giving him the power; thus drawing your eye to that fixed point. The use of red is also instrumental in these texts as it is startling with many connotations with blood, anger and predominantly power.
