When producing a CD front cover in the
Indie genre a semi popular idea is to utilise many different image styles when
creating the cover. This creates a good variation in the product and makes it
sort of a collectable if one is printed far less than the others. A sort of
special, edition if you will. Some really good examples of this could be found
within New orders album cover and Arcade fires. This works very well with new
orders as inside of their digipak next to the lyric book were these interchangeable
images of each band member to put as the cover of your cd. This brings a
personalised element to the CD and allows the consumer to pick their favourite
band member and have them on the front. This gives them a choice rather than
the artwork being sort of forced upon them per say. This is a good idea for my
own cover as I have taken many images that are of high standard that didn’t
quite make the cut so the idea would be practical. But in my opinion this sort
of idea wont be featured as I believe that it works best with a band or a
product featuring more than one person. Therefore will not be using this on my
digipak cover. But this was definitely considered when creating my cover.
