Digipak Influence

You Me At Six - Sinners Never SleepThis particular digipak gave me a lot of influence on how I should lay out my own CD design. This album has a recurring theme throughout the design which also linked to the bands videos and promo shots which consisted of the band being arrested and held captive with the fingerprints and mugshots which appear in the video for 'Loverboy' On the inside cover of the digipak there are two photos of the band from different photo-shoots. I feel like this is a common feature of album products to have at least one image of the band in there somewhere. Therefore I used one photo of the band featured in my music video to create a verisimilitude effect between both my music video and digipak. Obviously there is a tracklist on the back of the product which is a key feature of albums and again is something I have used on my own product. On my product I didn't put an actual disc were the CD would be this is because lots of CD cases now have a sleeve where the CD is in much like on a LP. On this You Me At Six album this is a feature they have used and is why I decided to use it.
