The front cover for our digipack

Here is a draft of the front cover for digipack:

After getting some audience feedback, they commented on our daft. They came up with a few comments which were really fair. The main comment was the fact that 'Us' doesn't stand out and looks more like a album cover. This is a good comment because, when deciding what to do with the cover, Jade and myself both said that the title needed to stand out more, however, were worried it would look odd. After doing some research into female artists signal covers, it turns out that many do use different fonts.

As you can see, with the exception of Cheryl Cole's cover, they all have different fonts. This means that, as a group, we will talk about what to do with this.

The next stage of making this front cover was the font we were going to use. We tried out many different fonts to show a variety. However, the font used at the moment is a draft because now, looking back at it, the font is very heavy while the picture of Amy and the butterflies are very light. To solve this, we are either going to change the font to make it look lighter or change the font colour or change where the butterflies are to even the cover out.

The butterflies are now a symbol that we are going to use throughout the digipack and the website. These butterflies came about as when we were filming in the house for the inside scenes, they had butterflies on display and we took a photo of them. After we photoshop them out, we added them on to our photo. This is how they first looked and after we cut them out.

The photo used was a big decision. We liked this photo it is a naturally beautiful picture, whereas many other photos would need work doing to it and may look plastic. This is not the look we wanted because we are aiming our music video to an audience to show that simple things are more beautiful than plastic aspects. However, looking more closely at the single photo covers above, most of them are more of a close up than a long shot. Deciding whether to follow the close up conventions or break this trend, we are now voting which photo to use.
