My album cover is quite simple, With the bands' name the album title and a solitary face. I have chosen this design because it's reminiscent of most HIM album covers, usually with the lead singers face or half naked body on the front cover and HIM written in big letters across it. I have put my own slant on it though by using an apple mac to effect the photo to make it look both like an etching on a wall and to have a fire-like orange colour. as well as this i have applied a flamed shadow effect behind all of the white text to again amplify the element of fire, running through the design. Within the Digi-Pak i have kept this simplistic motif as well as keeping the same stylised calligraphy font, i have also included the bands symbol the heartagram on the side panel and one of the digipak's panels as the symbol is so synonymous it just would have been entirely unrealistic not to include it, i have been careful not to play on it too much though just to keep it present throughout with exerpts of lyrics running throughout aswell, another feature typical of most HIM album cases. I have kept the colour scheme the same throughout too using blacks and dark browns with a white/cream font, i think the key word for my design is simplisitc, but i have put my own twist on it with my running artistic style and schemes.
