Album Cover Ideas











Here are some more ideas for my digipak. I have continued the theme of a face on the front cover as it is a very strong image which entices the target audience. I believe that this accompanied with the repeated name of the band gives a feeling repetition in life and how we all face it which reflects the lyrics well. I also think that only showing one eye connotates mystery and that we do not see the whole person, just bits of them. The back cover I want to be similiar to that of the front cover and connotate the same meanings. I think that added the back of the performers head creates a link from front to back and once again creates a sense of mystery. I also like the idea of the head on the front and back covers being placed on the side of the page. Many album covers have the person centralised within the cover, making the audience pay close attention to them. On the inside cover I have placed credits to the people that have aided me in the product. This is a typical convention of a album cover, with many artists and institutions paying credit to all the people who have helped them. Finally on the other inside cover I including images of crows flying and also stationary. Crows are a strong connatation of dark days and perhaps nothing being right in life. I wanted to give a feeling of life not quite living up to whay people think it is and can be sad at times.
