The CD front cover usually features a main image and the artists name. Often the name of the album is featured on the cover however, it is not in this particular example. The main image on this album cover features the band, which is also a common convention of CD covers however, some artists often choose not to feature themselves on the cover.The image is the band hiding around a corner. Their hands over their faces further this idea as it looks like they’ve done something wrong so are hiding from police. The clothes they’re wearing reflect ordinary young men: hoodie and jeans however, their long hair is conventional of the indie rock genre and so is the denim jacket, and maybe the green jacket too.

There are strange reflections and lighting which could connote the idea of drugs and alcohol, referring to seeing double and misjudgement or confusion. The dark lighting and colours suggests that they’re hiding and they’ve been dishonest.The text has a chipped effect to continue the idea of doing something wrong as it’s unconventional and imperfect as writing. It also links to the picture as the paint on the walls is old and chipped to show they’re in a rough place.

The CD is designed to look like a pie with the bands initials embellished on it. This will appeal to the audience as it’s different and interesting. It’s a fun twist on a CD design as they have made it unique. It is conventional to the indie genre as it’s challenging conventions of most CD designs.This has no link to the cover or the album content so is completely abstract which highlights the band as wanting to come across as quirky and original.There is no text referring to copyright or ownership which also challenges conventions of a CD.

Booklet

Digipak booklets often include lyrics, images of the artist and acknowledgments, all of which this follows. The layout is plain and simple and the colour matches the rest of the inner panels and back cover. Most of the pages are just lyrics, there are some with images and one page in the middle which is all one whole image. The booklet gives the audience a better understanding of the songs as there are lyrics and it creates more of a connection between the band and the audience as they have images that you can only see if you have the album.

The back cover is simplistic, like the booklet. The font used for the bands name is messy and could link to their name as monkeys are wild and reckless, like the image of themselves they’re trying to portray. The title of the album is humbug which is a person or object that behaves in a deceptive or dishonest way. This links to the front cover image as they’re hiding, and links to the text on the front and back cover, which is untidy and wild which could represent dishonesty and breaking rules.This cover includes normal conventions such as the list of songs, record label, album title, some kind of logo and the bar code.

In small writing is the information about where the album was made and websites for the production company and the artist. This isn't the audiences interest so it’s small. The songs are listed neatly in order of when they occur on the album, which is a common convention of a back cover. The font matches the font used on the front cover to show continuity. They text is not exactly in line which continues the untidy theme.
