CD Album for Music Video

Album with and without template:

We found a digipak template on the internet and used it as an actual template for our pack by pasting it into gimp (something we will discuss further in our evaluation). By analysing CD albums we decided on the information we wanted to include in our pack.

Front cover of CD album:

The lead singer is on the front cover of the album as they are usually the most recognisable member of a rock band. We have incorporated a scale-like skin (dinosaur like) onto the singer's body to combine the two aspects of the music video: the performance and the narrative. The image of the busy city behind the singer is used because our music video is set in the city of Tokyo. We had to use an image from the internet because we needed a helicopter shot of the city, and as this was impossible for us to get ourselves, copying an image was our only viable option.

Inside cover no. 1 of CD album:

Again we have made the cover black and white, this time in order to enunciate the red lips of the band. From our primary research we found that making the lips stand out was a commonly used element of a CD album; we used the colour red as it symbolises anger, an emotion stereotypically associated with the rock genre. We have used hand-drawn images of Godzilla and flames to parallel the hand-drawn style of the skyscrapers in our music video.

Inside cover no. 2 of CD album:

We decided to keep the CD part of the inside cover to a bare minimum as we have plenty of detail in the other parts of the album. As Godzilla is the central image of the album, he is used many times. 

Back cover of CD album:

The barcode and writing at the bottom of the cover are included on all the CD album we analysed and we have continued to use the same font and colour to keep with the theme. We have placed the band members on top of skyscrapers which is just as we will do in the actual music video.
