DigiPack: Image Research




This image symbolises the lifestyle of the audience in which Oasis reach out to. The image is aimed to be from the point of view of one of the band members at a bar.
This is shown through the ash tray and the pint on either sides of the menu styled lyrics sheet. This creates a direct link with the working class audience and the band.
The ash tray in the bottom left is symbolism for the addiction  that the fans seek to escape from through the music that Oasis produce, this is commonly displayed in the genre by bands like The Arctic Monkeys.
The image of the cigarette buts is not an appealing image, this could be to show that the inner beauty of the lyrics is not defined by the looks around the menu.



In the majority of digi-packs, there is use of establishing shots, this is done to create a strong link to the audience through letting them into the life of the band and showing them how they live and/or where they were brought up. It usually shows similarities to the lifestyle of the audience which creates the strong connection between the two.

This image shows a sunset behind a council estate, this suggests that they are trying to tell their fans that they will not always be in that position. They are trying to show there audience that they can make it out and have happiness.





This image is the image that was used for the magazine advert as well as the front cover of the digi-pack.
The image itself is significant in creating an authentic Mancunian feel, which is consistent throughout Oasis's album covers and digi-packs. The iconic setting a symbolises the struggles the state of areas in Manchester and how it links to the band and their audience.
