The front cover features a close-up image of the artist looking down with half of his face in shadow, suggesting a soul album with an emotional tone. Key information like the artist and album name are prominently displayed in bold gold font following standard conventions. The back cover lists the tracklist in the same font as the album name and provides additional details like the copyright and production companies in small font at the bottom. Both covers are linked through similar lighting and a consistent retro-inspired design.
1. The title of this album cover consists of both the album name as
well as the name of the artist. The title is positioned following over
the third rule which is a convention of most cd digipack covers.
The font of the artist and album name has the same font however
the color is slightly different however the colors are neutral and
the title is bold to catch the eye.
The mise en scene of the truck driver or the artist
shows the character and highlights the genre of the
album is country. This is because the character is
wearing a check shirt, tattoos and a long beard, this
shows that the character has not been grooming
himself for a while.
There is writing and the graffiti
on the payphone which gives
the impression that the location
is slightly isolated and dirty as
well as far away from the city.
The character is on the
payphone which illustrates to
the name of the album" I'll keep
calling". He also appears
depressed as he is looking
down with his head slightly tilted
down and the hat is hiding some
of his emotions through
appearance.
The scenery of the trucks in the background
shows how the man is alone with just
vehicles in sight. This is the most likely
reason of his upset appearance.The trucks
also highlight his job as it suggests he is a
truck driver.
The front cover is a sketchy
animation which gives the
impression to the audience
that the story of the album
isn't real but virtual.
2. Another convention of this
digipack is the barcode as it
is always positioned on the
bottom.
The image of the phone
links to the front cover as
the way it is just hanging
down and not out back
properly shows
carelessness most likely
due to no answer on the
phone call.This means he
has finally gave up from
trying to call the person
clearly important to him.
The back cover of this cd digipack
shows the names of the songs in
the album which is a convention of
most cd digipaks.
This is the address to the
production company and
shows the contact details
as well as the postcode.
The background color is a
faded brown which makes
it look quite old and dirty.
3. The artist's name is in bold
as well as the musicians
names. This helps the
consumers to be aware of
the people involved in the
album
The same trucks that are visible on the
front cover are on the back as well.This
links both covers together as the
images link together.
The size of the text is
relatively small which
highlights that the
information isn't
important.

The background is like a
old rusty colour. This gives
the impression to the
consumer that it is an old
track or from a dirty place
like in from the
countryside.
4. There is no disc tray inside
on the back page. This
unusual as a common
convention is that there is
a disc tray inside on the
back. Therefore the disc
must be inside the slip
pocket which can be pulled
out.
The image here has the
same colours as the
other two sides. This
links them all together as
it still has the old
corroding effect as there
is different shade of the
same colour

Here is information about
contact details and the
production company's location
for consumers. This is to help
the consumer find out more
information.
5. The artists name title is
positioned as you would
expect. This is because it
follows the over the third
rule, this is where
consumers pay most
attention to. Which is why
the positioning is so
important. The style of the
font is like an autograph to
a fan. The title is also
underlined and bold
making it stand out from
the image which is
essential.
The image shows a mid
shot of the artist looking
down. The image is in
black white which suggests
the album could be
emotional and cold. The
fact only the artist is
appearing in the image
suggests she is a solo
singer which gives the
impression that the genre
is soul.
The album name is
positioned at the bottom.
It is bold and the font is
more thicker than the
artists name which helps to
attract the consumers
attention.
The background is a
building which she is
turned away from
suggesting she wants to
escape from it.
6. The bar code is positioned
in an unusual place as
normally it is on the
bottom left or right.
Here is the track list, it is
positioned on the top left
which is a common
convention with the back
cover. The font size is large
and it is in bold which
means it is important for
the consumers.
The bottom left shows
information for the
consumers who want extra
information this is why the
font is small as it is not as
important. Such as the
copyright law, the
manufacturer, and the
record label.
7. This is the name of the
artist and of the album.
They are both have the
same font style however
the artists name is in bold
and the albums name is
not. The positioning on the
left side is not that visible
for the consumer.
The image of the artist is a
close up to the head,
however the artist is facing
on the side. The lighting
shows he is facing the light
and looking down.
The background color is
like an old record and the
pattern around the edges
supports this. This is
because it is an old retro
style.
8. There is a image of a
longshot of the artist
walking down from a
couple of steps. Behind
him looks like a door to a
church. He is facing to
the right again as he did
this on the front cover
too. This creates a link
between both covers.
The setting suggests the
genre to this album is
soul.
The pattern around the
edges is the same as the
one on the front cover. This
creates another link to
both pages.
The effect used for this
image gives the same color
as the background on the
front cover. Which suggests
a link to the front page.
9. This is the name of the
artist and of the album.
The same as the front
cover used again for the
disc tray page.
The background has an
image of a longshot with a
low angle facing the artist
in a church standing next
to the entrance.
The lighting is the same
colour as the other pages
which links all of the pages
together.
10. Here is the artist and
album name. The font size
of the artist is larger than
the name of the album
which is common
compared to the other CD.
The colour of the font is
gold which is highlighted
and bold which makes it
more appealing to the
consumer. Underneath this
there are two symbols of
the production company's
involved which this album.
Here is a close up of the
artist looking down. The
lighting is only covering
half of his face which
creates the unknown effect
to the consumer. By the
looks of this front cover it
suggests the genre of this
album is soul.
11. The disc tray has no
information or image
which is fairly common
with most cd Digi packs.
12. This the tracklist of the
album which is in the same
font as the albums name
which links both of these
pages together. Below is
some information for the
consumer for extra
information which is why
the font is so small. There
is also a link to the artist's
website and the copyright
act with this album. There
is also the sam symbols
from the front cover of the
production companies.
There is a barcode on the
top right this is essential
for the back cover.
