ANCILLARY EDITING: BACK COVER (CONSTRUCTION)

Shown below are three versions of our ancillary back cover, made at different stages during the editing process, showing the progression we have made whilst editing. 

Above is the first of the three images, which shows our back cover with the text in the form of the tracklist, barcode, record labels and the main image which features on the cover. We were relatively happy with this product but felt that it was potentially missing something to make it look more professional or possibly more exciting. The consensus among people we had shown it too was that it was a little plain and simple. So with this in mind we decided to make amendments.


Here you can see that we have made some slight alterations to our back cover, adding in a texture filter called texturizer. We were very happy with how this had transformed the product, making it look far less amateur and also making it look more aesthetically pleasing. We also had changed the text size and the style of font that displayed the tracklist.


The final change was to the text again, returning it to it's previous size and also font type. We did this as it looks better in terms of the composition of the cover, and also it helps us achieve some consistency in the use of text within the digipak. The front cover of the digipak also features the use of this style of font, of the exact font to be specific.
