Back Of CD With Spine

Back Of CD Cover Complete

Using photoshop and by looking at existing CD products both physically and digitally on the internet, radio websites and online music stores, I have created the back of my cd cover following the conventions that I found made a regular appearance on popular selling albums and digipaks. My design continues the image and colour scheme found on the front cover as well as including a barcode, record label logo, compact disk logo, barcode scanner and parental advisory logo. Also I have added production information and copyright which is seen printed in small of almost all cd covers acting as music industry laws.

My Record Label

Above is my record label logo shown in both black and white. The conventions of a music label is that the colour scheme is bold and simple, favouritising the black or white colour choice. I have created the logo in both colour options so both variations can be seen and then the one which fits best with my CD cover colour scheme will be chosen. In my opinion the black font on the white background looks more professional but the white text will stand out more on my cd cover as the colours on the graphic background are quite dark.

Draft 1 (Start)

Here is a 30 second draft of the start of my music video that I plan to add more film footage, imagery and edits too to illustrate my 4 minute long chosen mp3 song by Kid Cudi called Teleport 2 Me.

Back Cover

I have created a basic idea of what the back of my digipak will look like with the song titles and barcode. The font style seen on the front of my album cover has been continued onto the back to form continuity and the graphic imagery that was incorporated into the front design can also be seen too to give it a professional look. I will develop this by adding my record label logo as well as other information about the production that is seen on existing CD covers in the music industry. 

Back Cover Composition Ideas

 

Here are various back cover composition ideas of the position that conventions of the cover could possibly be placed.
