More cd cover inspiration - Safwana

Here I have found some CD cover inspiration, these are modern day covers, the previous Cd covers I looked at were out of date and old, so I wanted to find some modern examples and find inspiration.
The template for these Cd covers are the same as the one we have chosen, I wanted to see what was written or what images were placed on the different sides. I noticed it was very image based with very little text, however I wanted to move away from this convention and have more text as in contemporary society it is uncommon for the target audience to go and purchase a digipack, thus I felt by having text and some form of reading in the CD cover would potentially fulfill the fans needs. Only fans would purchase a digipack, as they would want a hard copy of the product instead of listening to it on a device, or on an app for example spotify. Therefore it was important for the digipack to interact with the target audience and make it worth the price.

With this example you can see a colour scheme throughout the CD cover, this is important as too many colour would make it confusing and uncomfortable to look at, this however is a different situation if it was a different genre for example Pop. Also what I found very interesting was the actual CD section, the CD cover has a different image and when you remove it, the background is of Lady Gaga. Originally I had not thought about this, and while creating the CD cover I took this into consideration.

This CD cover is similar to our own, it is simplistic and is focused around nature, the pop of colour is the red petals. Our CD cover will be all black and white as majority of our music video is in black and white. We will adjust the colours to be more Grey rather than black and white.

The 3 CD covers above are much modern, and are very artist focused, with lots of close up shots of the artist. Rihanna's Loud CD cover has a bleeding image of Rihanna, which carries on for 3 sections, this looks aesthetically pleasing. However with our music video we want to have some text to interact with the audience and make it feel worth the money. As having a hard copy is different from an digital, I feel it is necessary to have text in the hard copy to show the difference from an hard copy in comparison to a digital copy and its significance. The target audience are paying more to get a hard copy, thus we must fulfill their expectations.
