I used the same cover as for the Digipak in order for it to be recognized, when seen the shops. I also included the website for the actual band as a lot of adverts in magazines do to gain more information on the band.

The digipak so far
This is the design we have for the digipak's front cover at the moment. Bieng quite a heavy band (we kept the same band name) I opted for a dark cover and the fire shows the heavier side to it.
This was done by using images and drawing over them to create the effect, I may retake some photos to use for this specifically as the hands were an image from the internet.
The font is in white to stand out and I used a motion blur on a duplicate of the layer to create the glow effect.
The cover is meant to be nice and simple but with high contrast to draw attention. An interesting effect was having the skin of the woman be quite lowly saturated but having the nails and lips a bright red to imply a seductive side to her. Although the girl herself has little to do with the band (apart from there bieng a girl in it) it makes for an interesting and creepy front.

Digipak
We have decided to do a digi pak instead of a DVD cover as it is easier and better in terms of research. Reffering to the moodboard from earlier I think we might try a style like that of bullet for my valentine as it works with the genre of music and looks very good.
The digipak will list:
several songs,
A music video,
and a behind the scenes piece
as what is to go in it.
I will probably use dark colours like blacks and red but with a high contrast.

Music video (Final Cut)
It's finally done. We decided against effects in the end as they often look tacky but the lighting in some scenes definitely helped and made it far more interesting.
Video
Over the weekend Vonnie managed to get the bass and lead guitar footage over the weekend. Vonnie performed the bass guitar and a friend of Vonnie's (James) performed the lead guitar. We now have a suitable amount of footage to put together the video with a good amount of performance and narrative.
