This CD case conforms to current media conventions in that the band name features prominently on the front. The font of the text is instantly recognisable as that particular band. The image used is simple and suits the style of the case. The texture and colour of the case mirrors that of the origin of the bands name the guide "Scouting For Boys by BP"; this guide books texture was of a similar vein to the one used here. The colours are simple and unoffensive; they suit the bands music style and lyrical depth.
Many media conventions are adheared to on this CD case. The bands name and album title are at the top in plain coloured text that stands out from the background, but suits the neutral colouring. The main image featured on the CD case is a close up picture of the entire band, with the lead singer in the middle taking most of the audience focus. The image is in black and white which follows the theme of the CD case.
This CD case is of a simple design, the text stands out from the dark background making it easier to see; the band and album title feature at the top of the case taking importance by being above the other objects on the CD case. The main image is one of a spinning globe, it's coloured a sepia colour, with the land masses a darker shade. The image helps to make the CD case stand out as the colour contrast helps to catch the audiences eye. Also the image appears to have no connection with the band name or the album title and so conforms to the indie genre in its tendancy to not conform.
From the research I have gathered, I believe that my CD case should be eye catching, and fit the genre and target audience. Although some reference to the band, album or song would be beneficial to the advertisement of it, it is not a necessity. However it would be best to conform to current media conventions and have the band name and album title feature prominently on the front of the CD case.
