LB: Digi-Pak Mock

Reading Path:

When looking at the reading path of our mock Front Cover when applying the conventional use of the Rule-of-thirds our drafted cover does not challenge boundaries as our main focus of the Image is in the right middle third box with the balloons opposite also in the final third. However the first part of the image that will be spotted is the Balloons because of the colour usage and how much they stand out. The typography and choice of just using the bands iconic logo instead of the album name increases the focus on the Image as it means there is less to look at on the cover. We have stuck with our original Idea to follow the format of the simple font used on the front cover however we have changed it so the album name is not on the front.



Applying Rule of Thirds to front cover

Present and Absent:

Present and Absent has played a big part on our work currently. As far as the actual band go, as the character on the cover is not part of the Band, this makes the band absent.However we have Included the Bands Iconic Image and Typography Style which gives the sense of knowing who the work is related to.

However for our character we have always played on the Idea of our character not fully visible, e.g. Back to camera, and face being hidden, as this links to the concept and lyrics of our track. As for our cover we have put our character in the position of both Present and Absent as you can see our character but because of the blurred effect, you are unable to fully make him out.
