Inspirations For CD Digipak Back Cover

Paramore - Riot! Album Back Cover
What I particularly like about this back cover is how the front cover background image is used again and the song titles are incorporated within the image. This adds a more stylistic and intriguing affect in comparison to plain titles placed against a plain background, which is usually used on most album back covers. This I would like to replicate in our album back cover, rather then using the typical conventions for a back cover, I would like the text to blend in with the image and stay consistent with the front cover and inside sleeve. 

Bon Jovi - Cross Road Back Cover
Similar to the Paramore Album back cover, I particularly like how the text is incorporated into the image, almost as if it is imprinted onto the wall Bon Jovi is leaning on. Again I would like to replicate this into our album back cover, as it creates more appealing and intriguing image for the viewer, and allows all aspects of the back cover to be consistent and tie in smoothly with one another. 

Unknown Band - Album Back Cover
What I particularly like about this album back cover, is the unique choice of font and layout for the song titles. This appears to look like a type writer font, with the use of black tape, which particularly looks like the tape which was often used on cassette tapes. Although we will not replicate this specifically, this has inspired us to create a more interesting back cover, with a more unique choice of font and layout.
