CD cover- Three Days Grace




The single "Break" Adam Gontier (lead vocals/guitar) says: explores not being controlled by your surroundings or environment. "It's about breaking away from being told what to do and living the life that you want to live." I based my design off of this idea and from the song 'Break' it's self.

On their actual official website they have a brick wall background with them at the top of the page. Otherwise a brick wall seemed appropriate since the theme I made is about breaking the walls that surround you, and to break free of the things you don't like and aren't you. The glass break in the wall is pretty self explanatory to the theme. And the band in the break of the wall just shows that they aren't pretending to be something they are not and they have broken free.

Colour choice was all gray, black, white,and red because they are dark and very affective, and seem to be there preferred colours from their past album covers, pictures and website.

The stick people with check marks and an X mark is from a previous CD cover and also seemed to fit nicely with the theme, the one person who is different from the others, broke free from being the same.

Their songs have powerful themes, real things and address powerful feelings: loss, betrayal, death...etc. Things that aren't about Utopia, and happy feelings. Adam Gontier (lead vocals/guitar) says "“The events of the past few years have made us more aware of what life really can be,” Therefore it was very befitting to add the anime boy in the corner who seems to be thinking deeply about life.

  1. I am soooooo happy. You three ladies had an awesome three days. Maybe I should be a virtual teacher permanently. You're design is extremely well executed. I looked at the real Three Days Grace covers and can see how you incorporated bits and pieces from various sources. Nicely done. The only minor issue is that the white font is a bit hard to read.
    Your write up sound much more professional and sincere Thank you for that. There are still some significant spelling/grammar issues which I will indicate when I grab a rubric from you tomorrow. Well done meeting the deadline.
    What do you want to do next?
