This is the back of our CD Cover that we created using PhotoShop. We tried to stick closely to the conventions while creating this and as you can see we included the generic items that are featured on a real life CD backing. These are included across the bottom of the product, and include the copyright details, manufacturers details, record label details, the record label logo and a barcode. We included these features in a smaller, minimalistic and plain text as they do not need to stand out so much however, people can read it and see it clearly should they want to.
We tried to keep the back cover in line with our other products so it is quite simple, yet I believe it is effective. In our tour poster we had a light shining down over a chair and microphone and we tried to continue this theme on our CD backing which you can see in the top right corner, there is the light shining onto the tracklist. We created this effect in photoshop using render>lighting effects then changed the settings and angle of the light to what we wanted.
When writing out the tracklist we tried to choose song titles that fit in with our chosen genre - acoustic. We also decided that we would use simple colours that we used across the range of our ancillary texts to keep a common house style within our products. They also represent going back to basics and being simplistic, and this is what we aimed to achieve by writing the song numbers in a text format rather than the conventional number format.
