Ideas for Digipak Front Cover

This image of Lana Del Rey creates such an impact
as for it being a close up, the contradiction of having 
a smile, with smudged mascara, almost creates a 
mystery, which makes the smile more sinister 
than happy. Also the lighting contributes
to the mysteriousness of this image. which i 
want to portray as the song title 'Serial Killer'
would suit such image. 


Looking into indie artist I came across James Blake, I
was intrigued by this image as it looks very abstract
in the way of the distortion of the face, it also
creates a vintage outlook of the use of blues,
this goes in favour of my chosen artist Lana Del Rey
as her videos are vintage and she is also
an indie artist. 

Another photo CD cover i looked at of my artist
is again creating a mystery thrill to it
with the flower cover the mouth makes this
image seem as a surrealism piece of art, which
has some characteristics of the famous painting ''The Son of Man''
by Rene Magritte.
It also makes it seem she is hiding something and by
having a red rose symbolises blood, love etc, which
creates suspense in which I've portrayed in my music video and also
want this same effect for my digipak front cover.
I was drawn to the use of red font, I feel it will really depict  
the song title 'Serial Killer' with the use of red and potentially 
having my actress with red lipstick will collectively work
together and come across effectively.
