CD/DVD Cover Development - The 'Development' Process (30/4/2008)

Ideas now aside, I'm now up to the development of the cover, a useful resource of information about CD/DVD Covers is from Technicolor Australia (http://www.technicolor.com.au). The company provides useful information on how CD and DVD Covers should be developed to industry standards. Aside from that, 'Development' Process of my Project will be a rather interesting and rather painful experience.

CD/DVD Cover Developement - The 'Idea' Process (30/4/2008)

After weeks of 'brainstorming' and getting increasingly 'restless'. I finally came up with a few ideas for the Audio CD Cover, I chose to go into the Rap/Hip-Hop Scene or perhaps try the Nighclub/Party Music Scene and see what happens here. Here are some of the ideas I came up with (Sorry if they are a bit distorted as it's not easy to take photos with little lighting, let alone trying to get the images that are done in pencil, because of that I had to use Photoshop and used the Exposure and Contrast to make them more readible):



AUDIO CD COVERS (DRAFT):
Lil' Punk (Top Image), Red Head Rapper (Above), PartyMania 2008 by DJ-DD (Below) and StreetParty 2008 (Bottom Image)

I would also like to thank my former Cert IV Digital Media Classmate Ben Trevaskis in suggesting some of these ideas (especially the idea for Lil' Punk and Red Head Rapper)

If these doesn't work for me, then I'm thinking of a 'Tutorial DVD' Cover (I only though of this one just yesterday):






Introduction

Hi, I'm Matt Drake or a.k.a 'Drakie'. I wish to say greetings to anyone reading this blog, do keep in mind that this is my first time blogging, so don't mind me if I make mistakes :-). Anyway, the upcoming project from TAFE that I have currently at development is my own 'mock' CD/DVD Cover. I'll regularly make posts on my Den about my developments of this project and what problems I face with my project.
