Final Draft of the Album Cover Thoughts

The album cover is looking pretty good in my opinion and its got a profesional feel to it. The stock image of the sea originally didn't look visual enough to be on the front cover. However, with some brightness and contrast, an ajustment of the vibrance and a change of colour it started to look really deep and interesting. That coupled with our text on top gave a nice powerful, striking effect for our front cover. Another thing I like about our digipak is that it contains images of all the band members playing live. This gives fans more content for their money and gives them something the video and myspace does not. The cover which features the portrait pictures of the band members is also a nice touch as it builds on the image of the band, which even though is not the focus, is still present for the fans. Moreover, the different colour backgrounds gives each member an identity, which is a technique we saw used in The Saturdays brand image. Overall I'm very pleased with the way our album cover turned out.
