Digipack design



This is the second draft of our album cover for our band. Once this had been printed off and we each had a look at it to see if any changes were needed we had a few changes we want to make before the final draft. We want to make the name of the band 'The Vibe' in a bigger font to show that this is the bands name and thus get people to notice it and remember it. The name of the album is 'Spanning Three Borders' but on this draft, the way the words are arranged it could be read as 'Three Spanning Borders' therefore we are going to re-arrange the way the words are to make the actual name more clear. We used the font 'tape loop' for the titles on the album as this font is bold but at the same time not too clear and has a scratchy look to it.

The image was created by overlapping three different images together by layering them in photoshop. The images were an image of a pentagram, a hadrid collider and Lonardo DiVinci. The reasoning for this was so we were literally 'spanning three borders' with the image as well as the album name.

However, this was not the orginal design at first we were thinking of having a picture of a guiatr overlapping over the top of some domestic violence, with 'The Vibe' in a bright sultery red colour. However, we thought after creating this on photo shop it was very cliche and quite stereotypical. Especially as 'Feeling good' could possibly the only song on the album that is slightly violent or abnormal. So, we had to choose an image that would represent soemthing that we thought best described our band as an image, not based on the song.
