Digipak - CD covers - ancillary

We have create a CD cover as part of our ancillary task. So i have looked into other artists CD covers to gain some ideas for my own:

 This example shows an animated approach, creating theyre own image instead of using a still image from the video, image of the band/artist or a relevant image to do with the lyrics/album name. They have the idea of the 'iron sea' and have carried the name through to the image as you can see. I like the idea of creating an image, for example we could have an animated strawberry with a cup of tea.

This is the album cover of Ed Sheerans actual album. He has drawn the image with felt tips and created this colourfull image that keeps the young theme with all those bright colours. The album is called loose change and he's dawn around coins to write letters on for his alubum name. I really like the idea of drawing our own to keep the target audience but i prefer the idea of a cute still image from the actual video.

The script have used the idea of an image of the band/artist as the album cover. This isnt matching lyrics to visuals at all just to look good. i like this idea but we would have to get our own image of Ed Sheeran which will prove extremely difficult.

This image from Katy Perry is a still image from the music video they created and i like the idea of using a still image but again not of a person. I like the idea of using an image of a significant object or moment within the video.
