Aeon Sable:
The
background of the digipack is black which reflects the darkness of the songs
that it holds on the CD, and helps it fit into the gothic genre. The image on
the front fades in from the black background, they have done this to show the
isolation that gothic’s feel that they are in. Plus the way that they have make
the image gray and sketchy, makes the image look like it’s not even meant to be
there as it is being engulfed into the darkness, which is how some Goth’s can
feel about life; the image being in the middle of the front cover and being in
a circle, could represent the small groups that some Goths hang in so that they
don’t feel some much alone.
The title of
the front cover ‘Aeon Sable’ consists of three colours, red, white, and yellow;
the colours and the mixes of the colour make it stand out from the page,
to make the
digipack easily recognisable to the fans of their music. The text at the bottom
of the digipack uses the same colours in a different style to show that it is
related to the title but it doesn’t compete with it.
On the back
of the digipack the text is white on the black, and is located in the middle,
this visualises how the Goths distance themselves from most people. In between
the list of the song that is on this dice and the copyright terms, there is a
symbol of a seven pointed star. I believe this to be the band’s logo as I can’t
find any other relevance between this symbol and Goths.
The dice has
a bigger version of the seven pointed star, this make it to see that the dice
and the digipack are part of the same. The name of the band is written around
the edge of the dice, plus the name of the album and year that the dice belongs
to is also written around the edge, this also helps the tell the owner what the
dice is if it has been separated from the digipack.
