CD cover codes and conventions

There are a set of generic conventions for a CD cover which i felt i had to follow to make look as real as any other

Front:
  • Simplistic colour scheme and design
  • A use of different colours for the band name compared to everything else
  • A title that hints the meaning to the audience
  • Bold simple fonts for the band name
  • Same, or complete opposites for the album name

Back:
  • Name of the band and the album at the top
  • List of song titles, usually centered
  • Barcode
  • Record company logo
  • Copyright
  • Who owns the copyrighted material
  • Who the album has been distributed by
