Rough digipack ideas

With these first ideas i wanted to have the guitar drums and guitar all in a picture (with effects) on the front cover, displaying very bold and eye-catching font reading ALEXISONFIRE, all in capitals. The big bold font is what usually is seen with bands of this sort and also alot of the time with alexisonfire.

On the back(although i have put it in the wrong place on this picture) i wanted to have a picture of the band all wielding their instruments, looking serious and straightfaced looking straight into the camera with a clear background and nothing else in shot, but a long shot of them so that all of the body can be seen of each member.

On the inside i wanted a simple picture (with effects) of the microphone hanging with just a clear wall in the background, i believe although it has no clear meaning it is a good image and looks aesthetically pleasing. I believe that it also shows that the singing and lyrics are a very important part of this song, which they are. I believe it portrays this.

The second digipak idea i drafted was much more simple. I did not design an image on the front of the digipak but i designed it so that there would be a clear black ( or any other dark colour ) in the background with bright white bold writing stating the band name (ALEXISONFIRE) in captials, and also the song title in very fancy writing, as this is a convention noticed with many singles that are of the same genre. I beleive this also portrays a sole purpose of trying to portray just the band and having no need with "fancy imagery", just a simple easy on the eye design which is not over exaggerated and does not have too much going on.

On the inside i designed another clear background which would be black, and the lyrics of the whole song in white, so that it is very clear, and a lot of bands/artists like to have their lyrics displayed on the inside, one so that people will learn the lyrics and another reason being it will be a lot easier to relate to the song if you have the lyrics written infront of your eyes.

On the back, although i did not do a drawing on this design, i planned to have a band shot (exactly the same as in picture 1) On the back with once again the band wielding their instruments, looking serious.
