Upon reflection, after doing some extended research into cover design. I decided to change the idea of the digipak to go with a more Minimalist approach than before. by doing so we appear to have a more professional looking product than before whilst also remaining eye catching due to the colour scheme and the sharp, small images on the design.
An example of a minimalist album cover is 'Suck it and see' by the Arctic Monkeys. Where they took this idea to an extreme by just having text on a blank background, as you can see:
Although we haven't gone to this length, we still took it into mind when creating the digipak and especially the front cover.
Another inspiration for our Digipak front cover gradient design is from looking at the poster for the Movie 'Moon'.
As you can see from the poster, the gradient circle in the middle draws you to look at the character in the Astronaut suit. We took this idea to mind and created a circle the gradients from Red to Yellow (To represent the colours of a fire). And then added black text going around in a circle so that it stands out more the further you go down the circle.
