As well as producing the music video, I am also in the process of creating my digipack design to accompany the video. The digipack design is in line with the earlier designs posted, with the image of a faceless woman upon a bed in a corrupted and somewhat sordid fashion, although I am in the process of taking my own photos in this vein, using the same person who was in the music video for 'Flesh'.
The reasoning behind this, within the scheme of a campaign, is that it seems to present the artist Simon Curtis (in terms of my own campaign) as a silent artist, similar to that of Gorrilaz frontman Damon Albarn's lack of appearance within his group and their use of the cartoon pseudonyms to present the band. The consistency of my model's use within the campaign is reflective of artist detatchment from their campaign's imagery. Whilst some may think this a contrived effort, I feel it an organic attatchment to the sort of dark aesthetic of my overall campaign and that having a female portray the content of an album titled "Unearthly desires" is a much more comfortable and conventional way of exploring darker, sexual themes.
