The document provides examples of back covers of CD albums and digi-paks to illustrate what should be included in a digi-pak design. The Drake back cover uses gold text on a black background to make it stand out, with the gold also representing the value of the songs. The text lists important details about the album. The second section explains that digi-paks have multiple panels to include materials inside and out, such as booklets, photos, and promotional items. The Professor Green back cover features a distant shot of the artist to brand them as upcoming, using minimal color and vertical text for maximum space, with lighting adding to the dream-like quality.

4. PROFESSOR GREEN
BACK COVER OF DIGI-PAK
This back cover conveys a long shot of
the back of the artist walking away from
the camera towards what looks like a
photo shoot.
The lack of colour in the mise-en-scene
adds a clear and effortless look to the
album. The vertical text minimises the
amount of room taken for text and allows
the model to take more room and the
background image.
The artificial light that has been included
to make the image seem ‘dream-like’ and
‘angel-like’ adds to the intensity of the
back cover allowing the audience to
seem him as a new and upcoming music
artist. As the light suggest the beginning
of something new.
