Initial Ideas: Digipak

Initial Ideas: Digipak

My initial ideas for my Digipak are that the background will be a scenic photograph of something like a beach or a sunset with simple white writing. The front will be simplistic and only have the name of the album which is "Bloom" and artist which is "Rüfus Du Sol" and on the back it will have a list of the songs on the album with the background slightly blurred so there isn't as much detail that would make it harder to read the writing and also  copyright information, record label logo and the barcode will be on the back too. The side will say " Bloom By Rüfus Du Sol" and the background will be a colour from the background image to make it flow nicely. I can't decide how colourful I want the background to ideally be but its between the two colourings below. I'm warming more to the bottom option.

Focus Group Opinions:

1: I prefer the first one because the colours are more vibrant which makes it more appealing to the eye. This would then make more people want to buy it over the bottom. It would stand out more from the other album covers in places like HMV.

2: I prefer the pastel colours but the only problem is that the writing doesn't stand out as much. 

3: I like the first one as it is brighter and would catch more eyes if it was on a shelf amongst other covers.

4: I like the look of both for different reasons. I feel like if you met the colouring in the middle it would look good and help make the white writing stand out
