Ideas for front cover images

When planning our Digipak, we had a number of images that we wanted to try out. one idea we thought of was an image of our artists lips, that are seen throughout the video. We thought keeping in touch with this image of the lips would help recognize the artist and link back to our video. With the image of the lips as our front cover picture, we would use vibrant colours and big fonts to carry on the 'in your face' technique that we used for the video.

Another idea was to use an image of our artist standing in front of the boom box that pops up in the video frequently. however, the image of our artist would stand out more, with the background image of the boom box slightly faded. The background colours would be light and vibrant linking back to the video. This is something that would differ from the first idea we had, using the lips, with the use of background colour.

Our final idea was influenced by The Smiths album cover, which includes four of the same image. We thought we could have a picture of our artist wearing different types of glasses in each of the four images. We would also change the colours of each image, to keep in touch with our video. The thought the use of different glasses used in the same four images would relate to our video as at one point, our artist is lip syncing while his glasses change.

Here is an example of The Smiths album cover:
