Insperation for CD design

I got insperation for my CD cover from the maze design from 'Inception'.

Inception is a film about being able to create a alternative world in our dreams. This film some what links to the idea I wish to portray in the CD album itself, I want the intended audience to feel as though they can get lost in the album, as though they are living in there own world.

I have desided to stick with the maze

theme throw out the album and I have entended

to have the Disk cover to be a maze

as well (like the inception DVD cover).

Type of Album Case I will have.

I plan to have a plastic CD case for my album. This is the normal type of CD case that is used for many different genres and albums.

The reason I have chosen this case is because I believe that the color of the CD covers bright design is strong enough to attract the buyer. Also by using this type of CD case it will make displaying the band name and album name easier by putting the name of the band and the album down the side like Rihanna has done in her 'LOUD' album. I have decided to do this because the CD cover did not look right with having the Band name on the cover, it looked to disorientating and to much for the eyes to handle. This is why i believe this idea to work best. The band will still be show on the cover of the album and will not be as disorientating to the audience.

Making of the maze.

This album cover influenced how I wanted my album cover to be by the fact it is a rubiks cube. I thought this would be a great creation to have the album cover seem more playful. I started thinking of games you do by yourself and I came across a maze. I immediately thought that this was a perfect idea for the album, I wanted to make an intermediate maze . I wanted the audience to have fun solving the maze whilst listening to the music. I began to think that maybe the maze would be to boring just as white, so I though I would add colour to it, at first I thought just blue or red but then I decided that it would be more eye catching if it was multi-coloured, this would also make the maze harder to solve and equally more entertaining.

How many songs should I put?

Fonts I might use.

Target Audience

Gender : Male
Why: Rarest spun is a andocentric band, this causes the band to be mainly aimed at males. I believe that the song is very masculine die to the rock genre that the band follows. Rock is normally seen to be enjoyed more by males than females.

Age: 17-21
Why: I would range the target audience's age to be between 17 ans 21 because the normal age range of this genre are people who are at college or university.

Ethnicity: White Caucasian
Why: The band consists of only white males causing it to become more appleing to the white male. This is due to it being easier to relate to them.

Smilar Artists: The New Rasicals, Elbow, The Pixies ect
Why: This is due to the music being very similar and because these bands also have similar target audiences.
