Why I chose this artwork design...

The whole wild arrow design has just been a design the band have been using in as an icon to themselves; not a logo as such but an iconic design symbolising their name. Therefore i tried to incorporate that into the artwork for the album. I also felt the design was more important than the words which is why i kept that relatively small, but clear enough to read; I have seen alot of covers like this before so there is some logic behind it. The bright, vibrant colours will make it stand out on a shelf and catch consumers eyes.

The back cover i have just made much more simple, but carrying on the same theme. A few of the arrows are scattered about the border over the same colour background. The track list is set at a slant so it fills out more of the back; without it, an annoyingly big gap is left in the middle. I have included the legal statements and barcode which is needed and a small rabbit in the corner which is actually the bands logo.

Overall i think it includes much of what represents the band, and its style mirrors that of the bands music. At this stage I am pleased with it.
