Ancillary: CD Cover & Digi Pack (Final)

CD Casing (Front Cover Lower Right, Back Cover Lower Left, Booklet Cover Upper Right, CD Backing Upper Left)
Following on from the production of the Vinyl cover and label we were able to produce our CD packaging. This included several different aspects, above is the part of the CD packaging that is inserted into the plastic housing. The front cover and back cover are both very similar to the vinyl cover (removed the separation of tracks for each side of the record) the CD back cover also features a barcode which is following the convention of CD's unlike the record packaging where we decided to keep it simple we would remove the barcode to make it seem more 'collectable' and 'vintage'. The reason we choose to add the barcode onto the CD packaging is that it is a more mainstream item and would be a pain to not include it on such a popular item.
The inside of the CD packaging has a backing image for where the CD will clip in, this is the same image that is printed onto the CD so that they will line up and create one consistent image of the gas mask. This continues our simplistic black and white minimalist theme we have created.
The inside of the CD packaging will also include the booklet of Lyrics, this is pictured in the top right showing what the cover of this booklet is which is covered later on in this post.

CD Disk Cover (Printed Onto CD)
This is the CD disk cover that will be printed onto each and every CD, it is the continuation of the black and white simplistic theme, we have chosen to use our characteristic gas mask picture as it is the most suited to a round object shape. We have also chosen to position the Arctic Monkeys logo on the CD label to continue the simplistic branding. We have also ensured that the location where the CD sits into the packaging is a continuation of this image to create packaging continuity.

Booklet Front Cover (Right Hand Side) And Booklet Back Cover (Left Hand Side)
This is the Front Cover and Back Cover of the Booklet that contains lyrics for the songs on the CD along with more band images featured from our Arabella music video. For this cover we have chosen to use a photo we took of the Official AM Vinyl, it spans both the front and back of the covers to create a very simplistic and minimalistic black and white theme. The front of the booklet once again features the Arctic Monkeys logo to continue the branding.
