1. The first thing I put
on my CD back cover
was a barcode- a
classic convention on
CD/DVD back covers,
creates verisimilitude
as all CD covers need
a barcode to scan in
shops
2. After looking at existing CD covers I noticed that another convention was to have the
brand of the record label that help produce the CD and some copyright information
on the back (in very faint writing, however, still an important aspect). As well as
website details for the producers and the band itself
3. Next I added the background
design (which I kept consistent
on the front cover, inside and
the magazine advert). I also
noticed another convention
was to have the ‘Compact Disc
digital audio’ symbol.

5. Then I made up some
names for songs and
decided to place
them centred
underneath the band
name and name of
the CD. I thought the
gradual reduce in size
of each text looked
effective for my back
cover.
6. As it is a CD/DVD digipak I added
text to show this to the audience
and point out what videos are
featured on the DVD.
