Back Cover and Spine of Digi-Pak Research

Rihanna Rated R back cover

The spine is also shown either side of this back cover; the main information shown on the spine is the artists name and album name, with these written in the same font and style as on the front cover.

Kesha, Animal cover

Once again, the spine's of the album above shows the artists name and album name in the centre of the spine, written vertically so it fits well and therefore the two most important pieces of information necessary on the spine are:

- Artist Name

-Album Name

However, other information includes the record label at the top of the spine and a code at the bottom. As we have not mentioned a record label throughout, we may just not include this piece of information on the spine, while a code would be added during distribution and not in the design.

The research above shows two fairly different looking back covers. However, using these we have decided features our own back covers should include to meet the sophisticated style of our digi-pak:

- An image similar to that on the front but probably slightly less obvious, for example the back of the artist or a partially hidden image, linking with that in the Rihanna back cover.

-A list of songs as this is easier for the audience to read

-Information about the record label

-Contact Information
