Analysis of existing CD cover

This was the first page of the Black eyed peas CD Digipack, Sam and I like how this layout had an attractive background. We want to include this information in our own CD pack. The song title above each paragraph of information is in bold white writing. This makes it easier for the audience to scan the booklet through, to find specific songs. The white writing stands out from the dark grey background. However, the red pattern along the bottom of the pages gives the page an interesting look. Sam and I would like to include this convention in our own CD cover as the mixture between the 3 colours. The small print along each song includes producers, copywriting issues and directors.

This was the center double page of the Black eyed Peas Digipack. This image is very striking image as the band members look as if they are coming out of the page. Sam and I would like to use this idea and create a booklet of our own which only shows images of the band. This image clearly shows each band member and connotes that the album is firey.

Within the Digipack, each band member is thanking their own family, friends and producers for creating the album. The double page spread is taken up 60% of images of the cartoonised band member. This look visually appealing, as a golden statue of 'Will.I.Am' connotes that the album is high quality. Again, the use of only 3 colours looks professional and not too crowded. The block of white writing is relatively small, therefore, the audience would not read it, however, they would look through the page and be interesting by the image of the left hand side. This page is repeated but by using a different colour for the statue of each band member, this looks effective because the image is so large.

The back cover of the Black Eyed Peas is very simplistic. The black and white colour scheme maintains throughout the entire booklet. However, by having an attractive font of the album name catches the audience's eye. The song names are in the center of the back. This looks professional. The back also has a barcode, this is a legal requirement which Sam and I will have to include.
