When designing the back cover of my digipak, I had to consider all the information and features that are included in traditional digipak designs. I researched Artic Monkey's Favourite Worst Nightmare album cover and found that this includes the barcode, website of the artist or band, record company and producer name and of course the song listing. My design is shown below:
My back cover continues the theme of musical notes that were used on the front cover as well as the inside, allowing it to remain a constant theme. The font for the song lists is a "handwriting" effect. This makes the album seem a lot more personal, allowing a connection between artist and audience. The silver colour contrasts the purple effectively, instantly catching your eye. I have included the bands logo, although a larger size to again reinforce the name of the band as an important feature of the product. I have made the feature single "Superman" the third track as when researching other digipaks, the albums debut single seemed to either be track 3 or 4, unlike the stereotypical first track. The barcode is a conventional trait always portrayed on the back covers of albums. Its size is not too big, making it less distracting. I included the record company logo as well as the bands website. This information was made compact as it is not usually read by the customer but it is also discreet so as not to take away from the digipaks overall image.
