The back cover follows the same conventions. It has the same consistent contrast established of black and yellow carrying hazardous connotations. However I didn't find the layout of the graphology very aesthetically pleasing, it's very generic and is almost cliché. This is why when I produce my back cover I want to be more creative and contemporary, as I feel this would help hail the TA into buying a digipack rather than just downloading it illegally for free. I believe good designing carries a large amount of commercial value on the overall product.
Although, simple layouts and design are starting to become very popular amongs digipacks. They tend to be comical mostly, the heavy gothic or hybrid coloured and textured designs are becoming extinct. The main reason for this I believe is because the simplicity supplements the enigma and leaves the TA wanting to know more. But still it is not very aesthetically stimulating which is why I wanted to be a little exentric in my design.
The front cover, no more idols has a background image of a british bull dog which contains vivid connotations of the UK and british culture, which is informative to the specified audience of Dupstep, more specifically south london where the Dubstep genre initiated from.
The simplicity of the black and white colour contrast dulls the background image down making way for a more elaborate colour to present its self to create a potent design on the front cover. Here the bright yellow stands out substantially from the whole piece, as an album artwork it works collectively to emphasise the modern and urban feel that it is trying to convey.
The simple format and colouring of the front cover shows that simple artwork shows a lot about the genre and artists.

Risk Assessment
When in consideration of the possible hazards that may affect the production of my music video I had to be analytical on what possible could be done to prevent these risks.
1- A preliminary precaution that had to be taken was that, we had to formulate an agreement between the actors and ourselves and disclaim what would be expected of them as they acted in the production and they had to be aware of the possible risks which in this case were; as they would be doing a lot of staged running whilst in an anguished state, they could possibly trip or fall on pavement or stairs whilst acting, therefore they would have to have been extra vigilant towards this for prevention.
2- Another risk would have been the access to film within a train station, as we were not previously aware of the policy against filming within a train station, we were at high risk of getting caught and possibly prosecuted without warning. However, following the filming session a worker at harold wood station later approached us and told us that it was prohibited to film in any train station and it could lead to immediate arrest, this was a verbal warning. If we had accessed this information at an earlier stage in the development of the project I would have avoided filming at train station and thought of an alternative solution or another shot to put into the sequence.
3- As we were filming the staged club environment within the blue screen room, we were aware that filming would take place in darkness and minimal light would have been provided by the crane lights in the studio. Therefore it was of paramount importance that the crowd would not get hurt whilst dancing, trip on any wires or hit the fog machine and damage any other electrical appliances. To prevent this occurrence we duck taped all wiring to the ground and ensured any/all appliances and electrical sockets were at a sufficient distance away from the dance floor.
4- As I was watching back over the first draft of the music video and i noticed that as there are loads of flashing jump cuts in between various scene. this could have a possible epilepsy hazard . to disclaim epileptic viewers i will disclaim that this video contains flashing images within the description in the final draft on youtube.

Final DigiPack Design
This is the finalised Digipack images constructed with the dimensions and template design. the amendments that have been made to the digipack is the inlay/lyric book. it has been changed from the prior yellow silhouette figure with a question mark from an image (Screen shot) taken from the actual music video from the anticipation montage of the killer preparing the metal wire, right before the killer takes his first victim. Also another modification that has been made is the colour gradient running on the skirt of the album it has also has deluxe edition added along the side along the title.
Front & Back Cover Designs
These are the initial stages of the front and back cover of the album Digipack. Amendments had been made to the original drafts which I wasn't entirely content with. I have tried to stick strictly to conventionalised album covers as this would have challenged my knowledge of image and concept construction. I have kept the same sans serif font used throughout the the album and video production.
