Front covers of albums typically have a simplistic color scheme and design with few or no characters. They use different colors for the band name than the rest of the cover and may contain hidden meanings or titles that describe the album's content. Band names are in bold, simple fonts while the album title may use a similar or opposite font. Back covers list the band name at the top, album title below it, and song titles centered, along with the barcode, record company, copyright year, and distribution information. Inside pages continue the color scheme with a blank, plain background and no characters or text, while the spine lists the record company and band name.
