Ancillary Task 1 - CD Album Cover

This album cover is for Avicii - Wake Me Up.
This CD Album cover shows the artist is the background, almost blended in to make the writing in white stand out more. The image is also simple, where the artist is looking away from the audience, he doesn't interact with them, he makes them wonder what he is thinking.

This album cover is for Daft Punk - Get Lucky.
Not much can be said for this album cover as, like many other album covers it is very simplistic, not a lot going on the cover, though when we look we know who's album it is as the masks are like an iconic trademark when it comes to daft punk as it is also what makes them unique and stand out from everyone else.

We Can't Stop - Single, Miley Cyrus
This album cover is for Miley Cyrus - We Can't Stop.
The image is quit blurred, which represents the way people see things once they've been at a party drinking all night,  which is what the album is going for to represent; as the image is of a party scene and not of Miley herself it represent the main focus of the song which is not stopping when they go out for the night. The fonts are bright and bold and stand out from the background image. 

After researching front covers from current albums, that have recently been released, I decided to find CD's I have at home and see the different styles, codes and conventions they have.




These images show the inside pages of CD DigiPaks; the lyrics pages. By looking at actual media products, it helped me get a rough idea of how I would lay out my media product lyrics page.



On real media products this is the spine of a CD DigiPak. I noticed how they mainly have the name of the artist and the name of the album. This will help me design my CD spine as it will allow me to make a realistic spine for DigiPak.


These are real media products of the front page, these are rather simple, and just show the artists, with the album title and the artists name. This helps me when designing my front cover, as I can follow the simplicity to make it look as realistic as possible. 


The back covers of real media products have the label companies logos, copyright information, bar codes, list of songs in that album and an image. These features will help me whilst designing my back cover as I can make them as realistic as possible.
