Preliminary Task Digipack Back Covers



For our back cover we once again wanted to design something that incorporated as much of our research into it as possible. We designed an image of a gravestone and then placed the songlist within it, we feel this gives our back cover the symbolism of death which we were looking for as it is a huge trend within Thrash Metal Digipacks not only this but It was to reference our front cover of a skeleton solider as death is a big part of war and fighting. We also chose a gory text style to compliment the feel of the back cover and the convention of death and suffering commonly found within Thrash Metal Digipacks, this was further enforced by the use of a blood red dripping from the message "Thank You" we felt that this would add sense of horror and once again a reference to death and destruction which ultimately was the image we were trying to portray. We also included a website, record label and a barcode three pieces of information that are usually found on most back covers. 


Here is our alternative design. We decided against having a grey, white and black colour scheme as we felt It wasn't as effective especially without the blood red dripping from the "Thank You message"
