Album cover conventionsAnd how we used, developed

or challenged these in our album cover

Focal ImageAs 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 nameWe 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.

Track ListingWe 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 InformationWe included information about the record label and distribution company including logo and website links. We also included a barcode and copyright information.

Consistency Between Inside and Outside PanelsIt 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.
