Like the front cover of the album, the back connects to the process of the stop motion animation used for the music video. Both match with the wooden desk background with the animated characters. This is to connect both together to form one product. However, the mask it not on the back as the importance of it means it should be the cover focus. Not only this, but it would also take up a large amount of space, leaving no room for the song list.
The back of this album could also hint at the idea of being back stage, increasing the appearance of the video still being in production, making it more interact and new, stepping away from the conventions of albums already in the market, allowing it to stand out as a new and individual project. This includes a white square representing the large white card used as the background for the animation. This card is taped to the desk to stop it from moving, which is shown by the faint yellow rectangles representing the sellotape. This realistic look at the production of the animation is shown with characters and objects placed as if spread out on the desk, ready to be positioned and photographed for the animation.
The images as also seen in the cover, have been edited to appear to have shadows, making look like they are really on a desk with a light shinning on the characters, ready to be animated, giving a more realistic look.
Song titles are written in the same font as the singer's (John Legend's) name, connecting them together, showing that he sings these songs. The songs are listed in the center of the white square so they can be easy to see and read, which also why they are written in black, as this makes them easy to see. The black text also links back to the idea of a black out line the cartoon characters in the video.
