HMV Primary Visit

As I said I was planning to do, today I had a look around HMV. I wanted to go take a look at the albums in the 'metal' genre and see how they were laid out and if anything that was jumping out. The layout itself is function over style which makes sense really. I've taken a few pictures to give an idea of what I was looking at. I've also got a few more images about the albums that stood out to me on the day.















Things I never really took much thought into was the CD as a package and what you could do with the packaging. In these examples we have a little box with a lid to hold three CD's. In the other example of this pink special edition format there's a panel cut into the material revealing the orgion CD art beneath.


The case also had a reflective material, changing colours in different light.
