A2 Digipak: Existing Album Art

The front cover of a Digipak is the most crucial component. This is for several reasons. Firstly, it is what a potential buyer will see first. It needs to draw attention as it would be placed among many other albums. Secondly, the album art will give a potential buyer the preconceived idea of what the artist will be like from the art. I have decided to deconstruct a few album covers in order to understand what makes them successful.

My favourite CD cover from this selection is the fourth one down. This is because it is very colourful and busy. Creating an album cover that won't use a photo of an artist, I feel, would be more successful for me. This is because the music video doesn't contain an artist and it would seem inappropriate to take a picture of someone different at this stage.
