Album Cover Textual Analysis

I am doing a textual Analysis of a CD digipak as me and my group partner have decided to create one as an ancilliary task. The album is by the artist 'Eminem' who has sold multiple records and albums and has a distinctive style.

FRONT COVER


BACK COVER + SIDE

INSET + INLAY


COMPACT DISC

I think one of the main things I learnt from doing this task was how much repetition you can use. You should pick a theme and stick to it. Your artist needs to be recognisable and logo's and familar writing styles are common trends. I also learnt how I can use other parts of the digipak, such as the inlay, to tell a story and give the consumer a taster of what's to come on the album. Other features I may now use from doing this analysis is to use less tracks on the album as we're represented as a new and up and coming band. I also like the idea of putting the tracks inside of a shape or image of some sort. It also reminded to add thing such as barcodes and copyright issues.
