This is the first rough design idea for my digipak CD case. It features deep, dark blues and blacks. This suits the mood of the song and the video. The band take prominance on the front of the CD case to help get them recognised. The spine of the CD case conforms to media conventions with the name of the band and song title running down it.
This is the second rough design for my digipak. For this design I was thinking of using a grainy or slashed effect to make the cover appear more striking. I will use oranges and whites in order to make the case stand out, also the orange will add to the grainy effect. A screen grab from the video focusing on the lead character, this picture shows the emotion that the character is going through. The back of the CD case features a fusion of two pictures from the video; a smaller transparent picture of the lead female crying will be placed over the main picture of a point of view shot of the driver driving, this is to show that on his journey the girl is still in his thoughts.
The final rough design again includes, on the front of the CD case, a picture of the entire band, this is to establish the look and style of the band. The colours are light blues and purples, these represent the band more then the song or the music video. For the back of the CD case, seeing as there is only one song on the CD, I repeated the band name and song title over the back of the case, this reinforces the band and it also appears quite contemporary and original rather then use a track listing or pictures of the band.
