We mocked up this album design after being inspired by Damien Rice and his digipak cover. We collected a number of symbols and representations from the internet and used them to create our own design. The Japanese symbols used all connote the idea of 'love' a key concept in the video. I researched Aboriginal art to get a brief idea of what kind of art work would be suitable to fit our album that we could make our own. In the end we decided to not use this cover as we understood what it meant but wasn’t sure if our audience would without us explaining beforehand, also it doesn’t really link well with our video.
As a group we all liked the idea of using symbols for our digipak as they are simple yet touching, like the meaning behind the song 'Jar of Hearts'. All of Christina Perri' songs are deep with emotion so at first symbols seemed a good way to make the digipak as diverse as the song choice. Later our teacher pointed out to us that it would be difficult for us to maintain the meaning through symbols all over the digipak as there was only so many we could actually use without them being random. Therefore we decided against using symbols.
