This is the CD cover for The Temper Trap's "Conditions", that our song is taken from. It is a very simple design, made up of mostly black with one image. On the back cover there is no image, just record company logos, a barcode and the track listing in the same font as the band's logo and album title on the front cover. This font is repeated on the CD itself as well. This simple design is effective, it conveys well the mood general mood of the album and the image is appropriate: it interprets "Conditions" as human conditions, and visualises that.
Linking the music with the artwork can be a powerful technique that we will emulate with our own cover. We will probably go with a simple design as well, partly for practical reasons but it also helps focus on the music, something that The Temper Trap themselves try and do.
