We got feedback on our album cover, and from this we decided that we needed an image on the back cover, due to not having one on the front cover, and only one single image across the two inside panels. Below are the two new designs that we decided between:
The design above is synergistic with our website design - the 'accordion' layout of the pictures in the galleries mirrors the layout on the back of the album art. Whilst we liked this design, we thought it didn't really fit with the overall design of our front cover, which is more minimalist.

The design above is what we decided was our final design. We still felt that we needed an image on the back cover, and we knew we wanted it to be an image of the band. We used publicity shots with different costumes to add variety, and the green background to add colour, but also so that it fit with the colour scheme. We also decided to do the 'stuck-on' effect with the images, as this was synergistic with our website design, therefore anchoring the brand image. We felt that this design fit more with the overall minimalist style that we wanted the album cover to have.

We based our album design on The 1975's album The 1975 - whilst there is no image on the back cover, we drew inspiration from the minimalist design.
