Slide 2 CD DIGI-PACK RESEARCH By Gresa Hisenaj Slide 3 I have
used the internet and found some related searches which is useful
to analyse and make for my own CD. I have chosen 'Sneakbo's CD
cover to remotely match the images I took for my CD front cover, CD
back cover, booklet, in-lay and CD individually. Sneakbo is a
signed artist from South London who many rap/hip-hop fans in the UK
and worldwide listen to, so I chose him as an inspiration. In order
to make our digipack products of a CD cover and press-ad, I would
need to research the conventions of rap/hip-hop CD first. Sneakbos
CD cover Slide 4 and used rapper T.I CD cover from the United
States! There are many aspects to consider when producing a CD and
these consist of; The use of the location Posture of the artist
Eye-contact Clothing Edits Props Meaning of the image All these
elements would make every part of the CD cover, In-Lay, booklet and
back cover so researching other rap/hip- hop artists would help
build my own ideas for each of the parts of my CD digipack. Slide 5
In majority of rap/hip-hop CD covers there is a parental advisory
logo which I will include as a convention of a typical rap/hip-hop
CD cover. The logo is used on albums if the songs contain excessive
use of profane language and/or sexual references, in which case my
artist's song's does contain these elements. The logo is also a
marketing tool. Slide 6 ANALYSING RAP/HIP-HOP CD COVERS Simple
