Making the Back Cover

To make the back I looked at how others bands album covers had been made, the use of text, postioning, imagery and even simplicity. I wanted my cover to match the theme running through my whole digipak, the idea of lights and circles and the simplicity of my front cover. For the back I first created a circle and added 2 images and put them into the circle, this was followed by me using different modes on each layer and changing the opacity to combine the two images.

I next looked at the use of text how it has the track listing on the back which I then added to above the circle in an appropriate font. The text included the song title, how long the song lasts and who composed/sung it, this was information i found of the 'We Used to vacation' EP I have analysed prior to this.

Magdalena  

‘3:20’

Released 2010

Recorded by Jared Costa and Andrew Hone at Rubidoux Studios.

I then added the text at the bottom of the cover, the information I added was reconstructed from the EP 'Hospital Beds', I looked at what it said and remade it relevant to what mine was.

Then I started to add finishing touches to the back cover, such as a barcode and my logo. This is the final design.
