For my CD Album digipack, I chose to keep the top half of the person hidden on the front cover of my album as it connotes a sense of mystery and not being able to understand what is in front of you. I also chose to keep the area around the lower half quite confined as it connotes being trapped and not being able to escape, which synergise well with the theme of the album. which is how brutal reality can be and how one can become trapped in a vicsious cycle.
I chose to keep the character as far away as possible when designing the back of the album because I wanted to create the connotation of being isolated and that in life one can be misunderstood and looked down upon for the wrong reasons. Again I chose to keep the surrounding cramped to reinforce my previous connotations of cycles I stated above.
The inside cover however does not have the character in the shot and instead is simply an alleyway in which you cannot see the exit, I chose this to connote that once you have chosen a path it is not so easy to stop and choose another one and that it must be followed to the end, no matter how long and hard that path is.
