Album Cover Designs - Front and Back

We wanted to make the artist's makeup the most distinctive and important feature of our digipack design therefore we made sure the artist dominated the frame in order to draw the audience to the artist's makeup.Our decision to make the artist's makeup distinctive and quirky was to connect our album cover with the conventions of our genre. (alternative dance) The example below (the image) demonstrates the degree of quirkiness we want to be visible on our artist. This example is the artist Dub Phizix, an alternative dance producer. The use of unisex colours both bright colours (red) and dark colours (black) are used to create a tribal display. This make up looks like the African tribal facial makeup which is used for religious practices or dances. The fact that Dub Phizix uses it to present himself shows how our genre favours distinctive facial makeup. It can be argued that this makeup is not distinctive as this facial makeup design is widely recognised as African and tribal, however, it is distinctive to the western ideology makeup. Which is the idea that makeup is used to beautify an individual as opposed to make them weird enough to stand out.

For our digipack we have made 2 ideal designs
