Real CD Cover

Although this is a CD Cover, not a Digipak, as a group we will be able to take a lot of inspiration and ideas from this example. As you can see there is a theme of smoke in the product. The album is called "Rolling Papers" and therefore the smoke theme is in relation to the name. The green colour is used throghout the product which adds a great effect, and the fact that Wiz Khalifa's face is the only recognisable thing on the front cover, the audience will know (without looking at the title) that is is the artist.
The product is very simple and iconic and I think that our group can take away the idea of using simple ideas and iconic objects and themes running through the products.
We can see that the list of songs at the bottom are not seen to be as important as the logo of Wiz Khalifa. This is probably because the product is trying to promote the name and face of Wiz Khalifa, rather than the songs. Hopefully, the product will then make consumers recognise the artist more frequently - possibly leading to more purchases of future prodcuts.
Overall, this proffessional CD cover is very simple yet effective, and we should note that the visuals are more important usually than the information such as track listing's and production notes on the back cover.
