Ancillary Texts: Examples of Album Covers


This is the layout for the Digipak which will include the front cover, back cover, and various inside panels which will include images of the artist who's album it is. 

These are some front covers from existing album covers that I may use for inspiration fro my album front cover:



Taylor Swift: I like the idea of the swinging of the hair in motion to create a simple but effective image

Norah Jones: The almost camera angel makes her seem innocent and vulnerable and her dress goes with the colour scheme of the album cover

Celine Dion: I like the closeness of the face with only part of it in view

Alicia Keys: The straight on look captures the audience like she is looking at them and the simple writing above it makes the album quite really effective

Carrie Underwood: The use of the filed in the background gives a country feel to it, and as my song is country, this might be a good idea to use

Along with the front cover, you will need to have a back cover with the artists songs on it. The following back covers will act as inspiration fro my own back cover:


Back Cover number 1: The image looking out to the audience gives it a personal feel to it and creates a connection with the audience  

Back Cover number 2: The blurred lights shows a simple but really effective back cover to an album

Back Cover number 3: The rustic nature of this back cover could correlate with the 'country' feel I am looking to recreate

Back Cover number 4: The uneven stripes across this back cover makes it stand out from the rest and creates a 'quirky' style

Back Cover number 5: This back cover creates a childlike image with the hand-drawn stars and handwritten songs
