This is my digipak cover that I have created. It features the front cover, back cover, side panels and the inside left flap.I used ideas and conventions from my planning and research that I did on magazine articles for new albums.
The image in the top right corner is also the image that is featured on the magazine article; I did this so that they linked in some way. It also links to the video, making all three have some link.
The front cover (bottom right) has the butterfly, which I used because of its bright colours and the fact that it is something beautiful. I also used this because I didn't want the cover to have the artist on (I wanted to break conventions), but feature something that can also be related to song. I got this idea from the green day album advert as it features a hand with a grenade, which presumably realtes to the album or band.
The front cover also has the name of the album, which is a recognised convention of album covers; it is done in order for the purchasers to know what they are purchasing.
The two panels (in between the two covers and rear inlay) have the artists name on and the name of the song. This again is a convention of album covers, as the panels are often used for the name of the artist and the song.
I also placed another butterfly image on the panels because I wanted to keep the theme of butterflies present.
On the back cover (bottom centre), I wrote the songs that are featured on the album. This is another convention of album covers as the back cover is used to show what is featued on the disc(s).
I also put on a barcode, the labels logo, the labels protective rights and the compact disc logo. These are also conventions of album covers.
