CD Cover research: The Temper Trap

As well as making our music video we have to design a cd cover and packaging for the song. To start the research we've looked at some of The Temper Trap's other singles and the artwork for them:

I don't particularly like these single covers. Essentially they are just variations on The Temper Trap's album cover which, while this links them to the album in a clear way, is quite unimaginative and says little about the individual songs. Neither are very appealing to look at either and I think the lined/grainy effect looks unprofessional and hasty.

For our CD Cover then we will probably try and design something more relevant to the actual song and with more polished graphics, though some link to the album artwork could be good too.
