Evaluation of our CD cover

After discussing with the rest of our group, we have decided to re-do our C.D cover so that it fits more with the specification and the brief of the course (making the whole C.D case instead of just the cover, however this was due to lack of information) as this would make the whole product look much more professional; as if one would buy it from a shop.

Our original C.D cover was proficient however it strayed from the original concept and theme of the digi pack and the band, making it stand out (in a bad way) from the other products we made which were more concise in meaning and relevance to the brief.

However technically proficient the C.D cover was, it would not make up in lack of meaning and consistency that the C.D cover is supposed to have. This is one of the main reasons for changing our C.D cover, as well as not actually producing the C.D pack.

When re-designing our C.D pack

When re-designing our case, there are many things we need to think about including;

• · The style of the case
• · Artistic influences
• · The design in relevance to the band and video
• · What is included in the case
• · Images, photos and themes
• · How the audience will recognize the C.D on a shelf in a shop

I think that because we have already designed one C.D cover, we now know what to do and what not to do when going through the research, planning and construction processes. This will then help us to manage our time more effectively and help us to create a more professional C.D case that fits with the specification of the course.
