Front Cover Third Draft

After asking my friends, family and teachers about how I could improve the album cover, I received very constructive feedback. I also realised that I was ignoring the results from my previous questionnaire about the design of the album colour. Nonetheless, A majority of the reviewers said that the cover did not stand out if it was placed next to other Pop Rock artists such as Pink or Avril Lavigne. However, other reviewers said that "the cover lacked colour", which I agree with since I have unintentionally ignored the pink colour scheme that the audience voted for in the questionnaires, therefore, in my next drafting stage I will work on introducing colour into the Digipak.

I have searched for a number of pink backgrounds that I could use, these examples are shown below...

After trying a number of Pink backgrounds, from backgrounds using block pink colours, to backgrounds of pink stripes and stars, I concluded that I wanted to use a photograph rather than a block coloured background. It is for this reason that I chose to use the second image of a pink, blue and orange sky. Firstly, I feel that this photograph contrasts against the graphic pen images, which gives the digipak a surreal feel. This idea also helps to create an imaginary environment where the band and their audience can do whatever they like, which in this case is to rebel!

Nevertheless, other reviewers said that the album cover "...needed a catch line..." to draw their audience in, therefore I created a direct link between the music video production and album cover by stating that the album 'Features Hit New Single SUPERMAN'.
