These drafts sticks to many popular conventions of CD cases. The band shot on the cover is a good feature to have as it shows the band in action and highlights that they play their own music aswell as sing. Having the name of the band in a larger font is also a popular choice as it draws attention to the artists before the name of the album, meaning that the name of the band is what sticks in people's minds when they see the cover of the CD. The front cover has a lot of information about the CD/DVD digipack which is a good selling point because it draws in the audience and makes them feel that they are getting a lot for their money.
This draft doesn't have a picture on the cover which is not such a popular choice as it doesn't connect with the audience or help them to recognise the band members. However, this does help the name of the band and the title of the album to stick in peoples minds. Having the band shot on the back cover of the album would make up for not having it on the front. However, I will most likely not choose to use this draft as I would like to include more images of the band to connect with my target audience.
These drafts would have some nice clear images of the band members on them which helps the audience to recognise them and to relate to them. The title is slightly smaller on these drafts which may be a weakness as the audience can't read them from a distance, however they may then pick up the CD to read them. Furthermore, I do feel that I need to have an image of the band with their instruments somewhere on my CD as this is an important selling point for the band, the fact that they all play their own instruments.
