Digipak - Front Cover



I wanted to make my album cover link with certain parts of my video. I believe that album covers with photos on the front are very successful at catching their audience's eye as the audience can see who immediately the album has been produced by. Throughout my video I have certain shots that are repeated therefore I felt that choosing one of these would help me to make a clear link between the album cover and

the video.




When analyzing the term 'Lose Control' which is the title of the song I decided that this image would be great for the front cover.




I have taken this image directly from my video. The image is not the best quality however I do not have time to capture the shot again on a better camera which would be more suited for producing an album cover. I chose this image as I believe because the character is moving and twirling around it sums up the expression 'Lose Control'. When we 'lose control' we tend to 'let ourselves go and let our hair down'. I used the shot during the video to express the title 'Lose Control'.


I therefore felt it was an image that would express the title of the song successfully.




I wanted to keep the album cover plain and simple therefore I decided to just type the simple text of the name of the album and the artist on the front. I felt that having the different colours in the dress would be a great opportunity for me to use that as my colour scheme. In the dress there is pink and blue therefore I chose these colours to publish the text in.








I chose to print the name of the album 'Lose Control' in Pink. At first I chose a simple font however I decided I did not like it as I wanted a font that expressed the 'fun' and 'individuality' of the band and the song.










This is the version of my album cover which I like the most. I changed the fonts to a more attractive font that stood out more than the previous. I believe the colour scheme works really well.
