Digipak - Album Cover Ideas



This is the original picture we decided to use for our CD front cover. Due to our research into indie/acoustic album, we felt that this image worked really well. Indie/acoustic album covers tend to be more artistic, they usually don't have a picture of the artist so that is why we didn't either.


We experimented with different effects to make the image more interesting. This was done on Photoshop. This effect is called glowsticks under the stylised effect; it's something you would expect on an indie album cover. We also tried out different fonts and font colours. We decided that this font was the best, and out of all the colours we used, white looked best with this particular effect.



This was another possible idea however due to the darkness and effect, the multi-colours are less visible/bright therefore its less "eye grabbing", we feel the original image grabs the attention more which is key.


This image is close to the original however we have brightened her eyes to make it more appealing. This isn't the particular image we'll use because the font is hard to read due to the colour of the font and the many colours already in the image. It is also too close to the original, we feel it should be more edited, in terms of altering the image via effects.


The white font works better here as well, so as a group we decided on using this font in white, no matter what edit we finally decided to use.
