Back cover sketches

Back cover sketches
Below is a slide featuring a range of sketches of designs for the back cover of my digipak. From my research on Digipaks I have learnt that the back cover artwork usually relates to or shares a theme with the front cover of the digipak. For instance the consistent movie theme seen throughout Kavinksy's artwork via the stylisation of the track list as a billing block or perhaps as seen on Calvin Harris's 18 months album which uses a zoomed out version of the front covers photograph to serve as the back cover of the Cd album. When taking this in account, I had to design the back to be consistent with my chosen front cover, working mainly with a theme centered on a focus on computer monitors and computer imagery as well blending strange elements to represent the tone and theme of my video as well as to use visual genre conventions of technology to communicate that this digipak does belong to an electronic based genre.

Additionally, I also took in account possibly using imagery from my music video photo shoot and considered using images such as this one to serve as my back cover however with a few adjustments for instance a glitch effect or imposing the image within a monitor to further convey this tech based theme.
