Sleeping Serenity's CD Digipack

The thought process:

• I was just brain storming ideas for this first and i started with the colour scheme. I thought that for rock the instant colour that comes to mind is black therefore i feel that black, grey, white and red would go well together.
• As the background is the one with more surface area i feel that either black or grey should be the focus. However as the logo is black it could also be white or grey as long as black is included heavily around it.
• The logo and the band name WILL definitely be included. And with this i was thinking that is should coordinate with the website.
• As i got together with the vocalist we browsed through the google images with some rough ideas and came up with some designs:

- As the song is called Tommy gun we came up with a bullet. Therefore what we were imagining was that on the front cover there would be an entry wound and in the back cover the penetration wound with the bullet casing opn the bottom with smoke coming out of it.

We didn't look at this image, however this gives an idea of what we were thinking.

- As we were brousing around the internet we found an eye with some sort of embeded symbol in it. Which therefore we came up with the idea to have an eye and then their band logo as a reflection in that eye.

This was the image that we found and taht we got insipred by for this particular idea

- Another thing that we found were thorns. We thought that maybe a thorn frame and just the simple logo and band name in the middle could also work.

This was the image that inspired me in particular. I felt that maybe if this image were also mirrored upwards then there would be a white middle in which the logo could go.

Drafts:

This was my first attempt at our favourite idea. I faded their logo into the pupil of the eye. I think this worked quite well because the logo is quite darker then the pupil however it still kept the reflection effect. The only thing that is missing in this is the band's name and the album's name. We thought that the band and album name should either go along the water line of the eye or be morphed to the eye (as in the band name would be morphed left side of the pupil making the lettering going up and the album name would be morphed to the right side making the lettering going upwards).

This is the second draft of the front CD cover. As said previously what needed to be added (the name of the band) i have completed now. In my opinion this does work very well and i think that it does look very unique yet simple. The only thing missing now is the album name on which the band told me that their chosen name was "Visions".  

This is my first draft of Sleeping Serenity's back cover. I chose to have a simple grey background with some fading  in order to give a slight depth to it. I think that the original logo should be on it and therefore that is what i did. I included a bar code and a copyright paragraph as they are conventions for Cd digipacks as i researched this before.

This is my second draft of the back cover for the digipack. On the previous draft i completely forgot about my CD Cover Preparation and i found that i forgot the sides of the back cover that bend to the sides of the CD. I think that so far it does look pretty good and goes with the front cover. The only thing that is needed now, is to add the track list.
