CD Digipak Research Task

3: Ideas started with the classic american football LP1cover this retro house feel gave a nice american theme that suited the cartoon font research on other house based covers showed good promise, the name of the album inspired by the Simpsons (along with the band name) 'tree house of horrible mistakes' made me want a tree house on the cover and other nature based images.

1: The colours where inspired by the record label (5) and the fact I wanted a plain neutral background but not as bright as white so a calm cream colour was chosen for the spine and inside.

2: The Remo drive and Marietta covers inspired my back panel to show the band camaraderie the mcbisted back also inspired me since it would give a grungy 'lad band' vibe with the iron fence and implied urinating.

4: The fonts where inspired by comic books and food trucks seen in lyric sheet 12, the latter 2 font who seriousness with straight lines contrasted by the other bubbly font to embody the light heartedness of the band.

5: The record label has a base ball high top sneaker feel I tried to use similar colours to make the disc look official.

6: The name sake is based of the Simpsons and I tried to use a similar font for the band tittle this style of humour and cartoonyness is carried out throughout the songs and lyric sheets.

7: The marietta cover and the AFI back reinforced my thoughts of scenic nature shots, a sun set / horizon themes chosen due to the pretty sky we had recently.

8: Old kerrang!'s inspired my font since i really like the double layer 3d effect.

9: the crow idea was a alternative to the houses as the dead bird is a macabre contrast to the energy and flight of birds this was semi inspired by the bird dance from 'Moon Rise Kingdom'  I still tried to keep some link to child hood with the doodled eyes and classic school desk.
