Inspiration for Digipak

We have decided to go with the first idea of our digipak flat-plans, and this post is explaining the main influences behind that design. There are two albums in particular we are using as inspiration: 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' by Kanye West and 'James Blake' by James Blake.

The first cover we are using as inspiration because although it's a completely different genre to what we are using, it is similar in that it's a very artistic album that deals with mature themes. We're planning on using a similar style border on our digipak so that it looks more artistic, though we will change the colors to match our color scheme. The second album is more close in genre with it being indie pop, but the inspiration we are taking is from the visual of the man with the blurred face. We feel this would be fitting for our character who is quite lost and not quite right mentally, so this blurring and shifting of the face could represent his confusion.
