Mock CD Case

Below is our mock-up of what we want our CD cover to look like. We decided that we wanted to go with the idea that we are going to use in the video that gives it a hand drawn look and feel. Therefore, we won’t use photos for the cover, and draw everything using Adobe Photoshop. This will give it a good effect that would make it stand out on a shelf and the bright colours we will use should help catch the audience’s eye. It also fits in with the light style of music that the band creates.

This is the outside cover of what the case would look like. The left is the flap that folds inside to cover the actual CD. The middle area where the track listings are will be the very back and the right with the band and EP name will be the front. All of this will be drawn using Photoshop to create a nice style. On the back panel is the main character that will be in the video, except he will be drawn rather than photographed. He will be facing away from the audience as though he is looking out across the sky. This fits in with the feel of Diver, which we will be making the video for.

This is the inside cover of the CD. The centre is where the disc will be held, hence the different art style and surrounding brick wall effect to separate it from the rest of the picture. The right is the inside of the flap and contains the information about who produced the record, when and where, as well as a special thanks message that the band would have written. The left panel is blank but contains a reference to the song: Diver. One of the lyrics is "I'm on fire, when I'm in the sky", and the picture has a small figure in the sky which is on fire. This small detail is important as it shows that there are links between the art and the songs.
