The document discusses album cover design conventions and how they were used or challenged for a debut album. Half of the artist's face is used on either side of the cover as an abstract focal image. The artist name is larger than the album name to promote the artist. The track listing uses a font matching the artist title for synergy. Inside panels include label information and a consistent design flows throughout while maintaining visual interest.

1. Album cover
conventions
And how we used, developed or
challenged these in our album
cover

2. Focal Image
As our album is a debut album we knew it was extremely
conventional to have an image of our artist as the focal
image. We chose to use half their faces on either side of
the album as we felt this looked abstract and interesting.
Album/ Artist
name
We made the artist name larger
than the album name, as it is
their debut album we want to
promote the artist as much as
possible.

3. Track Listing
We came up with track names that we though reflected the
Electropop genre. We used the same font as the artist title to
have synergy between the front and back covers.
Institutional
Information
We included information about the
record label and distribution
company including logo and website
links. We also included a barcode
and copyright information.

4. Consistency Between Inside
and Outside Panels
It is important for the album to have a consistent look across
the inside and outside panels so that the whole album flows
and looks put together. However it is also important to have
some variety and visual interest so that the album is not
boring.
