Having completed my designs for the front and inside covers, I made a stab at the back cover - to which end I am already happy with.
Below is my - hopefully - final design for the back cover.
- Minimalist, with a flat, grey-turquoise colour palette
- Slim, almost skeletal font type
Knowing from research that one of the main conventions of a digipak is to have a list of the songs on the album on either the inside covers or back side, I had to use the back cover for that purpose. I tidily compacted the list intro three rows, each of a roughly equal length. I did this to introduce some symmetricality, which is often valued on lists.
For easier reading, I used line separators to mark out each individual track within the album - a design strategy I took note of when analysing David Bowie's 'Reality' album digipak, shown below:
Lastly, I had to remember crediting information as well as record label logos and website information and lastly a barcode - which are usually present on digipaks. For this, I looked at James Blake's own cover:
And I attempted to replicate the information for my own cover, as well as adding a bar code for good measure:
