Back of Digipack Research

The conventions to include on the back of an acoustic digipack are to have the names of songs listed in the same typography as on the front of the cover, to have a barcode, To carry on the brand identity of the artist through colours etc, to not include visual clutter and to perhaps include relevant images of settings or image motifs. I will consider these conventions when creating the back of my digipack.

CD Case Deconstruction



I have deconstructed a CD case so that I know of the exact measurements for each part of the literature within a digipack, so at the editing stage I know what format size to make each part in. This deconstruction has also helped in knowing where folds are in the literature, and where they are shown on the outside or inside of the digipack.

Flatplans For Album Cover



Both of these designs follow the conventions I discovered in my research. They include the album name and have a mixture of sans serif and serif typefaces. They both have the artists instrument in shot aswell as being outside. The first does not include the artist which is not conventional which would be different for the genre. Indirect address is used in the second which is a convention of the acoustic genre for album cover artwork.
