Chosen Image for Digipak Front Cover

Chosen Image for Digipak Front Cover

 

 

This is the design I have decided to go with for the front cover of my Digipak. I chose the image as the artist is covering her eyes with her hands, this links/contrasts with the title of the album. I have chose to name the album Clarity after the song I chose for my music video. The lyrics discuss that their partner is their 'clarity' but they have problems that they manage to see past it. 'Love is blind'. I was inspired by Lorde's album booklet design where the image is distorted and layered over and over and repeated. Here is an example of a page in her booklet:

 

 

To attempt o get a similar effect to this I used the app Fragment for iPhones which layers and distorts images at a click of a button.

 

 

Using the app I was able to create a similar effect to the Lorde's booklet. However I also played around with other styles of editing. I added the '3D glasses effect' to also signify clarity linking to the title once again.

 

 

I was also inspired by Katy Perry's album prism. I particularly liked the use of the triangle on the back of the album. This also links to the common use of triangles in the typography of popular Djs/Producers.

 

 

 

This inspired the use of the triangle on my front cover and tying all the different pieces of work I have looked at previously together.

 

 

The blurred background was inspired by the teaser cover for Gorgon City's album. This was also a contrast with the album title of 'Clarity' but also makes the image inside the triangle that is clear stand out significantly.
