2/3 Ancillary Task

Front 

I have chosen to deconstruct the album Good Kid Maad City by Kendrick Lumar due to its front cover being the same idea I have. The album cover is a Polaroid of a car. This format is what I wish my cover to be. However my cover will be a photo of a Polaroid image with an all-white background, the image will be an image probably taking on set of the shooting of my music video therefore the album will connect together. Another similar thing this album uses is actual handwriting instead of a computer font, the personal effect of this is the aim I also going to use I will hand write both the band’s name and the name of album onto the Polaroid.


Back

The back is conventional, the type of style consumers would expect. The plain style of the black and white colour illustrates perfectly the intended purpose of a back of a CD. It is there to serve the purpose of making the track listing the key point of the back, it shows the track listings and when they come on the CD. Further information is given such as logos, information from producers and the record label, this is vital as it gives the customer details that are required. This is also key to emulate for my CD the back must look professional and conventional to look of high quality and the standard consumers are used to. The back of the image doesn’t followed the Polaroid style shown in the front cover of the CD however the theme of a car is shown on the front cover the car is shot on its side whilst the back of the CD sees the same car but from backwards. This makes sense due to the fact is it the back of the CD cover.

Inside

The inside of the CD is simple, it is a booklet with images and song titles to go along with it, as the CD was released both normal and in a deluxe version, there was a difference. The only difference was that the deluxe CD package came with an additional CD that held instead audio track entitled as a bonus a kind of incentive to pay more. This I will not be doing as I think it takes away the integrity of the whole record.
