For the album cover, we wanted to follow conventions. At first we looked at different album covers and quickly found common aspects among them. They usually only included a name, and sometimes an illustration. We were thinking of including the artist name and the name of the album featured prominently along with an interesting background.

| The original flat plan for our album cover |
When we asked for feedback from our teachers, they said that they liked the logo placement, however they also said that it looked a little bare. We explained that this is what the majority of albums were like, but they told us that the albums from last year had not had their artist on the front and lost marks for doing this. As a result of this, we decided to put a picture of Orlando on the front cover, and we ended up embracing this new design as it gave our artist more of a presence.
For the back cover we will put titles of songs that would be in the album. We will also include institutional information along the bottom, including copyright information, a link to the official website, a QR code, a bar code and the logo of the record label. The colour of the back cover would be the same as the front. This part of the album stayed largely unchanged, as nobody had any criticisms of it.
For the inside we originally designed it to be blank (with the same kind of background as the front and back) in the same colour as the front as we did not know what to do. We thought we could possibly include a photo of our artist on one side and leave the side where the disk would be blank. When we got feedback, we were told that we had to include something on the disk side. I then thought we could put the same kind of vinyl disk that we had planned to put in Orlando's logo, which the rest of the group agreed would be suitable.
