The document discusses the design choices for the cover of a music album about depression. A black and white color scheme was chosen to represent a depressive mood. A bold black strip was used as the album's iconographic symbol. The album cover features distorted trees created using the Photoshop "Photo wrap" filter, giving the cover a unique and artistic feel. The symmetrical tree images were intentionally placed to appear as a demon with double horns when viewed together, metaphorically representing depression growing outward.

1. FRONT COVER
Colour theme: Black + white - we did
this as these are the conventional
colours that represent a depressive
mood, which relates to the
song/album we have done. In
addition, this colour scheme is bold
and will stand out to the audience,
mainly the bold black strip that
serves as the iconography of our
album that people will recognize and
know our sign, similar to that of the
four circles that Twenty One Pilots
has.

Filter: This filter is Photoshop's
‘Photo wrap’. We chose this as
our filter as it provided a 3D
distorted look to it, giving more
detail and definition to the feel
of the digipak instead of plain
trees. This type of filter is
unique and will give another
icon to our band, something
that’ll further stand out to
catch the audience as it is our
first album.
Placement of images/text:
The symmetrical use of the
3D ‘Photo wrapped’ trees
furthers the distorted and
artistic feel of the digipak.
As well as this, the center
of the images collision can
be interpreted as a demon,
with the double horned
head appearing and
forming from the trees
growing outwards. It has a
metaphor for the
depression growing out.

As our song is about depression, we have
placed the Samaritans phone number
(suicide number) on the side of our digipak
to further the message of our album
