Digipak initial idea

My initial idea for my digipak was to have the artists fingerprint on the front of the album. My reason behind this was to have a sense of the artists identity on the album cover without even having his face there, this would create a sense of mystery. However, my genius idea was short lived when when my media teacher slightly burst my bubble when he told me that a fingerprint was not the best idea because of the fact that it was not linked to our whole project from the start. I got the idea of the fingerprint from Nicki Minaj's latest album "The Pinkprint". My teacher also told me that Nicki Minaj is an already established artist so she doesn't really need to have her picture on the album cover whereas the artist for the digipak is not well known so his face needs to be publicised. In the end, I will have to change the design of my digipak. I will be keeping you updated.
