Designing back of album cover:

I have also decided to design the back cover of my album cover to complete it. I have made the album a full album instead of an ep album cover, which then allowed me to add other singles onto the album and not just "Kiss N Tell". I feel that I have used the expected conventions of the back of an album cover.

On the back of the album cover, I added the typical conventions of a music album such as the songs, an image, bar code and a side bar of the artist and album name. The image that takes up most of the page are red hearts that I have positioned as a flower. This gives the album cover originality and to reflect the audience being targeted at 14 - 19 year olds as it gives a subtle whilst linking to the typical themes of the pop genre such as love and boys.

The font and colour is also the same as the rest of the album. The font is "Quid Pro Quo" and the colour purple is used as it is the colour theme of the artist which will be used on future merchandise and advertising for the artist.

A problem that I faced was the the colour of the text as it did not show up well on the dark background. Therefore, i was having to modify the colour and effects of the font to make sure that it stood out. In the music industry, this is very important as the audience would not be able to read the text of the album properly, which would result in lack of commercialism as the album would not sell properly.
