The document discusses conventions for CD album covers, noting that minimalism is often used with only essential information like the artist, title, and tracklist. Main images take up most of the cover to draw attention, while text is kept modest in size. Band names are placed prominently but not dominantly, and additional details like the record label and barcode are typically included in smaller typeface at the bottom.
