Digipak Research

As an established artist for a long time, Johnny Cash's albums have a very similar cover design. Often they feature a picture of him in black and white with the word 'CASH' in large capital letters. It is the word 'CASH' which draws the attention of anyone seeing the album, and is something of a trademark of his albums. Therefore in our digipak cover we will try to incorporate this into our design.

Johnny Cash is also known as 'The Man In Black'. As we obviously cannot use Johnny Cash himself in any photos we take for the digipak, we will use his reputation as the Man In Black instead. This will allow us to shoot a photo in black and white like in his existing album designs, and give a representation of Johnny Cash without having to have a picture of him. For the pictures to go on the inside covers of the digipak we will likely use pictures of religious imagery used in the video, such as bibles and crucifixes.
