Digipak Research

Similarities of grunge digipaks:
Dark colours: brown, black, greys, metallic blues, reds (but only in the context of danger or fire)
Symbols: Skulls, religious symbols, 
Experimental (symbollic images mixed together). Vintage overlay. Background noise. 
Details to add on photoshop that make an image look grungy:
High pass filter to give detail to hair, add blacks using the shadow slider.
Add contrast to the eyes, add contrast with the curves tool.
Make a greyscale layer then reduce the opacity. Restore the eye colour with a layer mask.
Darken down the background with multiply blend mode and burn tool.
Reduce saturation.
