Deciding on a digipak front cover

 
This is the image I originally wanted to use for the front cover of my digipak. Here I used 2 different fonts and asked a few people both from my media class as well as friends what their opinions were on the fonts in order to get both a media perspective as well as a target audience perspective. I also asked the people interviewed to listen to the song so they could get a feel of the genre and how the font would reflect this.

The majority (8/10) chose the more classical font below because "it fitted in with the genre more" and was "more feminine". People also said that "the font also went well with the stone wall on the background". For these reasons I chose this font.



At this stage of my production I thought I had decided on my front cover, but looking through my other photos the one of the front cover below caught my eye. I did the editing on Photoshop and put the artist and album name on in the same positioning as the cover above and thought the white worked much better on the green background and has connections with the model's dress colour. I also think the posture and body positioning of the model works better than the above image. I asked the same group of people on their opinions of this album cover compared to the above one and the majority (9/10) said they preferred the one below.
