The Front Cover...

From Gemma's research it is clear to see that an image presenting a close-up/extreme close-up of the artist is VERY conventional of a female performer and this got us considering our cover. Seriously reviewing our draft (the image of Amy perched on the stone wall, surrounded by fog saturated fields), we also identified that the components looked somewhat lost in the image and didn't quite gel together how we had planned. It is a beautiful photograph which we think will better frame the 'admin information' (barcode, record label, copyright etc) needed to achieve a realistic and viable finish in a more visually pleasing manner. Therefore, we intend to shift this image to the back page of our digipak and replace it with a still from the music video itself. Throughout the process of construction each of us had swooned and gushed at how much we loved this particular frame (depicting a close-up of Amy resting her head against a tree - Autumn section) but it had never occured to us to actually use it in our digipak! This in turn strengthens the link between the two products as the viewer is able to identify and recognise certain reacurring images.
