Digipack Cover Design Ideas

Using Fireworks on Windows, and following up from the feedback I recieve for my Photo Ideas, I decided to build on the image and start adding text and finalsing the Digipack cover.

I've decided to name the digipack "Things Left Unsaid" as I think this fits with the theme of the song I am producing the video for, and further songs that would appear on the album. Based on my target audience, artists that are similar to me name not only their songs, but their albums after emotions and relationships, and therefore it would be more appropriate to name my album "Things Left Unsaid" instead of my previous idea, "Cityscapes"

This is one of the ideas for my Digipack cover. It has a dark and mysterious feel which relates well to the title and it's theme, memories and regrets. By keeping the colours black and white it gives a very simplistic effect, but also manages to highlight the key features of the cover. I chose to keep the text white, and it contrasts well with predominantly dark, and the font gives an errie effect, which again, compliments the theme.

This one is very similar, although with a different and more simple font.

This one is the coloured version of the image. It brings to life the image, stripping away it's simplicity and replacing it with more depth. The font is different also, And I think this one may be the most effective, as it is quite simplistic, but also contains a flare with give the image of a professional musicians signature font.

This is a combination of both, using the sketched image, with the better font. In comparison to the first idea that uses this image, the font is more understandable, and adds an even more simplistic feel towards the image.



I will send these to a group of my target audience, and give their opinions on my ideas.

Edit: From the audience response I received, they said that they do prefer the last one, as it has "A unique effect" and "would portray the digipack effectively". Though they also said that the color one would be just as good at "Bringing it to life"and contains more detail. 
In conclusion I will go with the black and white option, as this seems to be the one that pleases the audience more.
