Digipak and CD Covers

In preparation for creating my own digipak I have done some research into the front covers of alternative rock artists (and artists that have created some alternative rock tracks) to get some inspiration for my own digipak cover. These are the album covers that I found the most appealing:

There are many differences but also a lot of similarities between each album cover which is what makes them all interesting. Very few of these albums use there artists on the cover, unlike many pop artists would have, as the others take a more artistic approach. The colours black and white are the most popular being present on every cover which are two colours that I will definitely be hoping to use in my own digipak. Something I noticed that I think I will incorporate into my own cover is that most of these covers have the artist name larger and more noticeable than the album name. It is either larger or bolder than the album name and is promoting the band more than the actual album. I like the idea of promoting Noxa more than her album, for my digipak, especially as it is her first album. This could also potentially lead people to her website, other music and merchandise.
