Front and back cover drafts



This is my third idea for my front cover. It involves the conventions of a digipak with the artists name and album name but i decided on breaking the conventions by not using the artist and his style of genre on the front cover, instead i decided on an art design. I decided on using one of my photographs of an abandoned building, it has no relevance to the artist but appeals to me as an abstract art front cover. I especailly like how the title can contrast against the green wall so you can see the name clearly, unlike many of my other drafts.


















This is a front cover draft for my artists digipak, it includes conventional features such as the artists name and the title of the album. The artist also features the artist in the centre of the composition with conventional folk features such as the guitar and the clothing he is wearing. The mise en scene is also conventional as you represent nature and the wilderness with folk music. I chose the font as it fitted in with the image and the genre convention.



















This is another draft for my front cover and it again includes the conventional features of the artists name and title of the album but this one is placed to the right of the composition. The title is done in white to contrast against the dark trees but i don't really like the size or font included. Again the mise en scene features the stereotypical convention of folk, nature. But I'm not so keen on the font but like the picture so may have to change the font to make it more appealing.
This is a back cover draft for my digipak. It includes the conventions of the song titles, the song timings and the bar code at the bottom corner of the CD. The mise en scene is conventional to the genre as it features nature which relates to folk. The song titles and song timings have alternative colours so it makes it un conventional and a bit different.
This is another draft of my back cover and includes the conventions of the song titles and the song timing. The backdrop image is conventional to the genre of folk and includes an iconographic shot. The writing is in the centre of the composition which you could say is un conventional as most are down the side. The backdrop image is in black and white allowing the white font to contrast against it, making it easier to see on the eye.


This is my third draft of my back cover and again it includes the conventions with the song titles and song timings. The backdrop image is conventional to the genre of folk and includes an iconographic shot with fits in with the conventional mise en scene. The writing is in the centre of the composition which again you could say is un conventional. Ive made the writing white and thick so you can see it better against the backdrop.
