Final CD cover

First post of 2015!  The final CD cover for the Hopeless Wanderer EP.















The CD is a six sided folded cover with no spine design to the CD. This is similar to Ben Howard's new album and Arctic monkeys AM.

The front, back and left cover show the singer walking away from the shot with the guitar on his back, down a woodland track. The cover has been designed so that when opened fully the journey across the covers shows the singer walking away from the camera down the woodland track.

The front cover shows the band name and EP title (Hopeless Wanderer) in an old typewriter font that suits the folk genre of the song and video.

The back cover shows the songs on the EP  and also shows the logos of the band and the record labels they are signed under. There is also a barcode for the CD and legal copyright information provided by the band and the main label they work under (Sony).
The left cover shows him walking down the track and shows the start of his journey when the cover is fully opened.
The inside right cover shows the woodland track scene and in the same font as the rest of the cover introduces each band member and the instruments and vocals that they play to the audience.
The back inside cover, which holds the CD shows the clapper board used during the filming of the video and shows the production company, the date of filming, the band name and the cameraman. The scene is the beach scene from the beginning of the music video.

The back of the front cover shows the beach scene from the beginning of the music video. It shows the singer and his girlfriend walking along the beach hand in hand. This shows that at the start of the video he is in a relationship and then when he is on the woodland track alone, the audience wonder why the girl is not there (break up or worse?)
