Ancillary Progress Back of Digipak

For the back, I wanted it to look really like a hip-hop album, I wanted people to look at it as see it as a typical rap album and not notice that I've created it. Therefore I decided to keep and use many conventions.
The first thing I got started on was the main text that is mainly central, the song titles.

I noticed that the back of albums never had a pure plain black background, although it looked that way, there is normally some sort of design there such as scratches or mist etc.

Due to me already having smoke on the front cover, I though it would be relevant for me to use smoke in the background. Once again, it is a big convention in hip-hop (smoking).













My next priority was the small text usually found at the bottom of all albums. This text would normally consist of the copyright logo, artists websites, record deal websites, recording address and sometimes a
piracy warning.

Of course there's more to it, although the record label's website has been included, their logo must be too, also I will include Me, Jerard, Jody and Kyle's production logo/name (JBK). While I was adding the JBK logo I remembered Kyle also made a logo for RICO, so I thought it would make sense to include his logo, as many artists will include their logos on their products, their use of the logo would be to promote their brand. Due to some rappers having businesses, clothing lines etc, using their logo on another product will increase awareness of it through the products audience.

At first I decided to use red for the logos, this is because I thought the black and white scheme would be too strong therefore decided to add a dark red in order to change it up a bit. But I also did it in white to see which I prefer, turns out the black and white suit the back of the album much better.


Much like with the front cover, I was u sure to add the mini designs in the corners. So I made the back of the album both with and without the designs to see which I would prefer.
