Digipak: Front Cover Draft

Our initial front cover was also very simple, we used a photo that we had planned and taken and edited it slightly in Photoshop to balance the colours and to blur the background. Then, we added the band's title and logo - which has remained the same throughout most of their own album designs - and the albums title.

We tried to incorporate images into the design that we people would relate with the title 'Disgusting'. Our survey received mix responses, many that we decided were too grotesque to use on an album cover for a popular band. However, blood and broken glass appeared to be a mutual decision throughout. We smashed the light bulb carefully and used golden syrup, black treacle and food colouring to make the fake blood.

Although we are very happy with the image, we both agree that it is too simple to use on it's own and that it needs to have another background in order to make the design more professional. We will experiment with borders and muted colours in order to achieve this and will add the record company's logo and copyright details once we have a finished product.
