Back Cover for Album

To create the back cover for our digipack, I took a variety of photos which I could later decide on what would best to give the right impression for the album. For this photo, I deicded to use a plain background, a wooden shed painted black with grafetti. The reason for this, is that allows the artist to be portrayed with an 'attitude', giving a different side to the artist; for example the purity on the front cover. 

With the artist wearing all black, again provides the connotations of how the artist is protraying herself compared to the other images included in the digipack. However, the top that Amelia is wearing allows a sense of sex appeal due to the fact that she is wearing a beandeau, only covering the chest. However, with the overlay top, it can still be aimed at younger audiences with connection to her music. The bright colour heeled wedges allows a sense of fun and boldness to the image due to the colour contrasting with the overall image of the photo. Along with the statement peice, it also conatates a 'girly' image to the backcover of the digipack. 

The makeup that is worn during the shot, is dark smoky eyemake with pink lips. This follows the indie genre and the overall image of this photo as its dark and mysterious, in particualar with the eye makeup. However, the pink lips contrasts as it shows, again, a more girly side to the artist. 

Connecting all the products together, the font is remained the same. 'Audrianna Cole' is written at the top of the album as its the main focus of the back cover. Keeping the font big and bold, it allows all the attention to land on the key information that is remained on the back cover. The song titles are written down the side of the album, keeping to the conventions of every back cover of abums. I have kept the font small due to the fact that it needed to be a certain size to fit all the important aspects of a digipack on the back cover.

I chose the song titles due to different aspects contained throughout the digipack. The reason for this, is that it allows strong connections between the album and the music, however, I did use some of the original song titles from the artist singles. I asked the other memebers of the group for their ideas with different, inventive names to suit the artist. I took inspiration from the theme of our music video - 'Alice in Wonderland.'

To follow the conventions of an album, key information is vital to any back cover. The reason for this, is to allow the legal information to be visiable for the audience. However, this text is usually at the bottom in small font, not to take up too much space but still visiable. With this in mind, I have followed the conventions completly without pushing the boundaries which meant that I positioned the text for copyrighting at the bottom corner of my digi pack in small font. 

Inserting images at the base of the image along with the copyright information. Again, I have followed the conventions for music albums to give our digipack a more realistic appearance. I added a barcode in the lowest part of the album, in the corner to draw attention to the image. Above the code, I used a logo for 'DVD' due to the fact that many digipacks link their album with a dvd for their fans. Contained on this dvd is usually 'behind the scenes' or videos from tours. Above both images, there is a blackberry code. The reason for a bb code to be positioned on the back, is that this way of commucating and finding out key information is an up coming technogology that has so far, proved very popular.
