Ancillary Text: CD Cover, Back and Spine


Ancillary Text: CD Cover, Back and Spine 
As part of the digipak I have to create for my ancillary texts, I need to design and produce an album case, which includes the front and back covers, inside sleeves and spine. To do this I will using a template, the template will be useful and helpful as it includes measurements I need to work from when creating. I will need to research and plan from existing products and gather information and inspiration before I start designing for my own texts. Here is the template in which I will use.


Below is an example of an existing digipak from indie pop artist Lana Del Rey; hopefully my final product will follow this professional style and standard.

For the research and planning I will be looking at each element of the album separately, firstly the front cover then the back and spine, etc. When researching I am going to look at all aspects involved such as fonts, colour schemes, artwork, photography elements, and the conventions involved associated with both the artists genre and general conventions connected to album front covers.
