Album digipak cover

This is the first draft for my album cover as part of the digipak that I'll be creating. To remain relevant with the video, I used a location where I filmed several parts, and the clothes that I am wearing are the same. I had chosen quite an urban location as I wanted the cover and the video to appeal to a working-class demographic. The fonts that I had chosen are quite plain because I wanted the cover to be simple and minimalistic, and my name is bolder than the rest of the text, mainly to promote the artist myself).

I used Pixlr to edit the picture. Firstly, I put a duplicate layer over the original photo, then added an old photo feature which I think makes the setting look bleaker. I then used the rubber feature to erase myself from the duplicate image, so that I could superimpose myself from the original photo onto the new image, and by doing this, it makes me stand out from the background.

  1. Really liking this, Matty. It has a gritty feel like The Streets that looks (as you say) urban and working class. Keep working this thoroughly and you should do well.
