The top left panel in this image will be where the CD will sit, thus I have decided to use text rather than an image. The bottom right panel is the front cover. I have chosen a sharp, serious image of the main character, as this will immediately make the viewer familiar with the video. The lighting here is particularly good, and giving good definition to the main character's face. The expression of the character emphasises uncertainty, and perhaps could be seen as slightly evil or misguided by the viewer.
The bottom left panel is the back cover, and shows an image of the main character and his partner, with emphasis placed (by adjusting focus) on his partner. The main character is not facing towards his partner, but somewhere out of shot. This, combined with her body language shows how she feels left out and not cared for by her partner. The strong colour of her hair makes the image stand out. I have kept the text minimal to avoid potentially confusing the viewer. It also makes the design 'flow' better.
The top right panel here shows the main character's partner walking in an uncomfortable fashion. I have adjusted the contrast here to portray her as a lonely soul, who is at war with the world. Her dark clothes stand out against a bright background, and her arms folded against her body show that she doesn't feel protected. The tree in the background almost acts as a metaphor of a barrier, with it seperating her from the world.
To improve it, I think i would have done a photoshoot dedicated to this, rather than take images while filming, as this would improve quality, as well as given me more creative choice and positioning. However, I do think that the digipak design does work well.
