Evaluating own album artwork

From researching on Google CD art work, I noticed that most CD covers have extreme close ups of the artists face, long shots of a particular setting or unusual artwork. Out of this selection I thought it would be best to use an extreme close up of the artists face looking towards the title. This album cover is bold and memorable  which helps the audience to connect with the artist and are therefore more likely to purchase the album. 










Examples of this: 












For the inner casing I thought it would be best to have another picture of the artist with accessories. In this picture the artist is holding a small clutch bag and is wearing lace gloves. The clutch bag is covering half of her face which is quite intriguing and mysterious. The artist is also wearing the same costume and makeup as in the front cover which makes it matching throughout the CD.   


















At the back of the CD it consists of the name of the band, names of songs, bar code and a decoration on the side. I wanted to stick with the theme and keep the colours matching, so i just used black, white and silver. As I was researching digipacks I noticed that the back doesn't usually have images and usually inst very crowded. For this reason I didn't add pictures and left the writing simple but also added a border on the right hand side so it doesn't look plain.
