This document summarizes the design choices made for a CD cover of the band Mumford and Sons. It describes the front cover as featuring a simple photo of the band in a window with neutral colors and fonts. The back cover lists the other song titles and includes space for a barcode. Overall, the cover has a plain, natural style typical of indie genres through its minimal use of colors and images.
