CONVENTIONS OF CD ADVERTISING

NAME OF ARTISTThe name of the artist on the front cover of the CD is probably one of the most important aspects of the cover, it shows potential buyers who is being promoted.

NAME OF THE ALBUM The album name is probably just as important as the artist. It is advised to make the album name in a different font or in a different colour, this is to make it stand out more.

MAIN IMAGE

The main image will most likely be similar if not the same to one of your digipak images. This is will be the main focus point on the cover.

LOGO’S

This is a trademark for followers to recognise and link with. Although it may be small it is still very important to have.

ARTIST AND LABEL WEBSITE

When advertising something, bands/ artists should always include their websites on the poster. This allows fans to look them up in greater detail if they need which will helm them in the long run. It will give fans information about tours and concerts.

RELEASE DATE

This is there because it shows the audience when they can buy the product, if it is already out it normally says “out now” in inform the potential buyers.
