Digipak: Initial Ideas Take Three

The general idea to this album cover is to have a girls face with powder paint splatted over all her on the front cover, filling up the space with bold and sharp text stating the album's title, 'Love Me Again'. 

The powder paint highlights the youthful, carefree vibe the album has, and links the the dynamic, upbeat songs which feature.

The typography we are planning to use is extremely bold and 'blocky' which connotes to the bold bassline within the song. The fact it is sharp and angular also relates to the choppy beats within the song too. 

Love Me Again is a Dance/Pop song. The conventions of this genre is loud, bold, colourful, up beat and powerful elements. We have showed this in our album cover idea through the typography and the iconography with the bold and colourful text and picture.

John Newman has a traditional look to himself. He is very old school and retro. On his album covers you see dull colours and the main focus is him on the front. We have added the UKF (who remixed the song) look to our album cover and made it very colourful and bold to make it stand out as a dance/pop album. 

Digipak: Initial Ideas Take Two

For this album cover idea we designed a symbol for the song. We picked a heart for the 'Love' aspect of the lyrics and we put an arrow on the end of the heart to show the 'Again' part of the lyrics. Together, this symbol represents loving someone again, almost like recycled love.

We decided that the Outside of the heart would have splattered powder paint on a black background with the heart outlined in black. With the bright colours of the powder paint and the boldness of the black heart, this shows that the sound is going to be loud, sharp and to the point; It portrays the dance/pop genre within the album cover.

Digipak: Initial Ideas Take One

Our first idea was to have a completely black background with one hand print - that had been covered in bright powder paint and then stamped on - in the center of the frame.

We thought that this would continue the theme of contrasts which we portrayed in our music video, as the colourful hand would stand out against the dark background. The symolism of hand also represents holding hands in a relationship as well as the action of throwing the powder paint. The fact there is just one hand represents power and individuality.

Music Video Initial Ideas

Here is a brainstorm I did today of some of my initial ideas, which have been inspired by studying and watching a few current ones.
