Flat plan for CD

The colour palette for the entire product will be: Black, White and Pink. I have decided to only use three colours as most CD's only use this amount, thus I want my product to be authentic. These colours will also appeal to my primary audience of teenage girls.










Front cover:
I have decided on my artists makeup by taking her persona into careful consideration, a unconventional suburban teenager. I overall want my artists appearance to be continuos in order to make her recognisable, thus I will adopt the same look on my poster. 'Dakota Harper' will be a cursive font to not only portray femininity, but to contrast with my artists appearance. I believe that this will exhibit how my artist still adopts a pristine, conventional personality and likes particular things despite her breaking out of the mould. The font will also attract my target audience of teenage girls. I have decided to use a  pink wallpaper background which appears vintage to yet again contrast with the boldness of my artist. I believe that the background is able to portray the artists suburbun lifestyle before she became a singer, and proves that you can become whoever you want to be no matter where you originate from.

Back cover:
The track list will be completely original apart from 'Teen Idle, the track I am using for my music video. I will create these songs by gaining inspiration from: Lana Del Rey and Marina and the Diamonds, as they too cater for my primary audience of teenage girls. I will include a barcode and essential information, like copyright infringment, at the bottom in order to make my CD appear realistic.

Conventions:
I am following the essential conventions of a CD cover by using a typical layout and including essential information. However, I have decided to sway against conventions regarding my main image. After researching an array of CD covers it is apparent that a head shot of the artist is usually used, however I have decided that I will take a side profile. I think that this particular pose will reflect how unconventional my artist is, and exhibit how she likes to break away from following the trends.

 













 Inside sleeves:
 I have decided to include a thank you note to exhibit my artists personality and gratitude towards her     fans, which will make her a likeable person. This will make people who purchase the CD form a attachment to my artist, which will hopefully make them buy more of her work and overall create a positive, strong fan base. I decided that I will include a image at the side where her eyes engage with the readers, to emphasise the sincerity of the note. I have decided to add a background to my inside sleeve, thus I will have the place where the CD goes white in order for the overall product not to look over cluttered.
