DigiPak Images



FRONT COVER

We decided to use this image as our album cover because it was non-specific to 'Clocks' by showing simply the artist on a black screen. However, due to it being a still-shot from our 'Clocks' video it subtly linked with the track we chose to work specifically on, which we liked. We kept the background black, as it is in the music video because we liked the contrast with the bright white t-shirt our performer wears. The angle of the shot is also good because it is a slight low angle shot representing importance- which obviously he has in this production. Also, his facial expressions appear thoughtful showing the meaning and intelligence behind the songs. We decided to break the conventions of Coldplay's usual album covers; simple:
and abstract:
But were inspired by their following single covers:

BACK COVER

We decided to again break conventions with our back cover. Despite sticking with conventions using a simple font to list the track names, Coldplay usually do not have an image on the back of their CD's; which is the convention we decided to oppose. Instead I was inspired by The Kook's DigiPak for 'Inside In Inside Out' where the image on the front cover and the back cover relate to one another. 


INSIDE PAGES
We decided to stick with conventions with our inside images by using a mixture of both performers and other relevant images- each of our images were taken during filming for our 'Clocks' music video in order for them to relate, but still remain unspecific to a viewer who had not seen the video. I felt that each of the images was appropriate due to the non-specific subjects, which I thought would be relatable to each of the album's tracks.
