Digipak and Magazine Cover - Final Versions
I am happy with the way this front cover came out despite it being a relatively simple design, I think this works well at representing the aesthetic the EP attracts. The font I used for 'EYES LIKE SWITZERLAND' was called The Bold Font that I found on Dafont.com. It is a sans serif font with sharp edges but rounded smooth curves creating a relaxed yet bold text. I originally thought of having the artists name in white but found this looked less eye catching and made overall created a sense of emptiness that something was missing. To prevent this I decided to put a box around the title and invert white and black giving the title a border making it more eye catching.
The image was taken by myself of the underpass in Norwich (as seen in our music video). I added a 'Vignette' effect on the top and bottom of the photo to make the image fade into the black outer border more. This created a darker ambience to the image. To give the image a purple colour I added colour balance until I found a shade of purple that brought out feelings of 'midnight'. The last way I manipulated the photo was by adding a tile effect/scan-lines. This gave the image a VCR effect which gives the cover a more 'self-made' feel, like the music itself.
I also added a simple symbol at the bottom of the cover to give the cover a less empty feel. The symbol doesn't represent anything to do with the artist or album but does add character to the brand- it could be a logo for Eyes Like Switzerland, and become an instantly recognisable icon if the artist grows in popularity and was to use as part of his image.
BACK PANEL
This is the back panel I created, it consists of a simple faded 'purple matter' image of a nebula. I think it works well with the front panel in terms of the colour pallet I used- white, black and purple and the overall low-key aesthetic. I used a more stylistic font for the track-list, it is a serif font called 'Al Tarikh' which was found in the photo editor I used called Pixlr.
Like the front panel, this cover is also quite simplistic, especially from the use of negative space which helps emphasise the track-list- which is the most important information on the panel. Because of this I also made the text quite large.
