CD Digi-pack research

By Gresa Hisenaj

I have used the internet and found some related searches which is useful to analyse and make for my own CD. I have chosen'Sneakbo'sCD cover to remotely match the images I took for my CD front cover, CD back cover, booklet, in-lay and CD individually.Sneakbois a signed artist from South London who many rap/hip-hop fans in the UK and worldwide listen to, so I chose him as an inspiration.

In order to make our digipack products of a CD cover and press-ad, I would need to research the conventions of rap/hip-hop CD first.

Sneakbos CD coverand used rapper T.I CD cover from the United States!

There are many aspects to consider when producing a CD and these consist of;The use of the location

Posture of the artist

Eye-contact

Clothing

Edits

Props

Meaning of the image

All these elements would make every part of the CD cover, In-Lay, booklet and back cover so researching other rap/hip-hop artists would help build my own ideas for each of the parts of my CD digipack.

In majority of rap/hip-hop CD covers there is a parental advisory logo which I will include as a convention of a typical rap/hip-hop CD cover. The logo is used on albums if the songscontain excessive use of profane language and/or sexual references, in which case my artist's song's does contain these elements. The logo is also a marketing tool.
