Bastille - "Bad Blood"
The writing is a good contrast to the background image as its white on black which always shows up well. The image is very dark, and a simple but effective idea. It doesn't particularly link with the album title of Bad Blood as it's someone running down a road at night with what looks like car lights on them, but it still looks good and the colour of the writing matches the lines on the road nicely. It has all the acknowledgements on the front in very small writing, but we'd rather it was on the back as it does make the cover look slightly more cluttered then we would prefer.
The picture on the back cover is similar to that on the front, its the same road but now its a cars headlights, probably the source of the light on the front cover picture (which is a nice way to link them up).
The font for the list of album songs is the same as on the front, and also in white. For ours we are going to make sure that the writing matches in this way, as we think that visually it will just look better. It also includes Bastille's web address and the record company on the back, something which is important and provides people who buy the album with access to more information.
We like the simplicity of Bastille's album cover, but personally think the image is too dark and abstract for our vision of a digipak. The font is unique and easy to read, something we will try to carry over to our own design.
