CD Cover research.

There are many different sorts of designs you can choose from when it comes to making a CD cover, You can get the plain plastic ones, with the booklet inside with the lyrics and photographs in and a cover on the back with the song titles on, or you can go for a fold out cover, where it folds out with little detail on, and have a booklets in a pocket in the middle, with a booklet it, with all of details on, with the song lyrics, and then the CD.

I am thinking of making my CD cover fold out, where it's just one colour, with little detail on, with the Name of the artist on the front, and on the back a picture of the Artist itself, then as you fold it out, there's, words, written by hand, of words used in the lyrics, then, in one of the pockets you would find a booklet with all the song lyrics in, then have a few photos of the artist on the odd page, then the CD would be placed in the centre pocket and the last pocket would have the list of all the songs on the CD, and websites to the Artists web page.


CD Cover task.

In this task we had to get research on different types of CD covers you can get, and see how we could make one ourselves and design the cover, the booklet and the back, to make it our own, with a CD inside.

At the moment were only a few days into this task, but I'm finding quiet enjoyable because you can design it how you want it to look, and to show other people what your ideas are instead of just writing them down.

So far I haven't designed mine just yet, because I want to get as much research into this task as I can possibly get, then start designing the CD cover.
