Digipak - information and images

For the inside cover of the i  originally decided to put track lists and songs titles on the inside cover, however i decided to change it to the inside after looking at other cd covers in which the general convention is to have track lists and song titles on the back of the cd cover.

From this i decided to put the song origin and information about the main song 'the pretender' which a sourced from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pretender_(Foo_Fighters_song)


"The Meaning Behind the Pretender

In a 2007 interview with frontman Dave Grohl
stopped short of explaining the meaning behind
"The Pretender, but alluded its roots go to
current political unrest.

"That's the thing with lyrics, you never want
to give away specifics, because it's nice for
people to have their ownidea or interpretation
 of the song. But, you know, everyone's been
fucked over before and I think a lot ofpeople
feel fucked over right now and they're not
getting what they were promised, and so
something to do with that.

The Pretender was not initially planned for the
album and happened really quickly. That song
didn't happen until later on in the session.
We didn't go into making the record with that
song and it happened after we recorded a lot of
stuff.Up until that point, I didn't know if we
had a good opening song or not. So after we
recorded it, I thought, 'oh this is perfect.
we have the song to open the record,' and it
just became everybody's favorite song. It's the
type of song that I look forward to opening
shows with and it came together really easily.
We put that song together in, I don't know,
a day, whereas a lot of the other songs we
worked on for weeks."

I placed it after editing the text i then resized, changed the font and colour
