The image above is out first draft of our album artwork which will be the first page of our digipak. We had all, as a group, decided the front cover should be simple as looking through existing album covers a reoccurring theme was evident that a lot of album covers do not relate to the band.
Jack then had the idea to use a Spirograph image as the album cover. This is because he felt it had the potential to look futuristic and is very simple to create, although very hard to look professional. With the hope of it looking futuristic it will fit with the bands electronic music style and tie in the artist with the imagery.
We added effects to the original white drawing on a black background. This gave it a glow and an edge to just a flat drawing. The Spirograph itself looks 3D and stands away from the background. We decided to place the logo of the band in the center of the album artwork to be seen whilst remaining hidden until closer viewing.
Overall we feel positive about this first draft of our digipak. However, i believe it will be hard to create four panels for this digipak without it being boring and too simple that it loses its impact and people do not notice it amongst other digipaks in a record store.
