CD cover:
When creating my CD cover, i need to take into consideration the measurements of the case to create an accurate and realistic sized cover. I have researched appropriate sizes on the internet and found that the most popular CD case is the 'CD Jewel Case'. The front of the case will be 12 x 12 cm and the back cover will be 12 cm x 15cm to allow room for the case to open and close easily.
ALBUM DISPLAYS:
- Usually displays a photo of the artist/band themselves.
- Who the music is produced by.
- Any Bonus tracks or features.
- A tracklist
- A Barcode
- Record Label
-Smallprint of copyright information.
FRONT OF CD:
The front cover of the CD is usually used to instantly attract an appropriate audience and usually shows the artist or band that the album features. Example: A CD for an artist of the rock genre would tend to use fairly dark colours such as blacks, browns and reds to attract the appropriate audience whereas the front of a CD for an aritst of the pop genre is more likely to use right colours such as blues, pinks and yellows as they attract a younger audience.
FRONT INSIDE:
Depending on whether there are multiple CDs in the case, the front page will often include either an informative booklet with messages from the artist and information about their creative journey or if the case contains more than one CD, it is likely that CD 1 would be on the inside of the front page.
BACK OF CD:
The back of the CD usually includes a tracklist of the songs that will be included in the album to show the buyer what to expect from the CD before the purchase it. It also includes a barcode to identify the object. It also allows the buyer to see who produced the album and the record label that sponsers it.
BACK INSIDE:
This page is what usually holds the CD. There is usually an image that links to the meaning/brand of the CD underneath the plastic that holds the actual CD.
