Research and Planning: Ancillary Development of Final Ideas First Idea

 The process began with deciding what elements we wanted in the artwork that had a link to the music video and the elements that we believed met the iconography and brand of the band.
The mask is an element that met the iconography of the band the artwork is somewhat to similar artwork that they have used in the past. It is also represents and illustrates, fear, unknowing and has both a variety of negative and positive connotations that meets with the concept of the music video, as "Jenny" represents the negative and "Amy" represents the positive.

 The rose symbolises in the video; peace and hope which bring the depressed darker character out her of depression and put her on the step to recovery. So when deciding wether or not to include it in the artwork we came to the decision that is it is a strong symbol in the video and this should carry through in to the album artwork.

 Throughout the interior shots the room is lit by candle light and is designed to be the only source of light in a very dark room, it is characteristic of the band and the music video.

Each of the above designs has the mask positioned top left hand corner, the rose placed beneath it and the candle placed bottom right. Each design was tested with different filters out of all of the filters we tested these were the final four for this particular layout  we decided on this design( see picture base right) to be a potential idea for the final design.
