CORRECTIONS

There was a mistake in the 'Development' Process (Part 3), the camera (Kodak EasyShare C340) was 5.0 Megapixels, not 5.1 Megapixels. My mistake for any incorrect information that might of confused you :-)

CD/DVD Cover Development Process - The 'Development' Process (Part 4) (14/5/2008)(Updated)

I'm halfway into developing the covers for my CD/DVD Cover Project. I've only being able to get 5 pages done so far (including the Back Cover and the Front Cover), but I'm still getting there (hopefully!!!). These are what the front cover is set to look like:







Front Cover for CD/DVD Cover

CD/DVD Cover Development Process - The 'Development' Process (Part 3) (7/5/2008)

I've now started on the development of my CD/DVD Cover, in which the project must be done by 28th May 2008. Firstly, I starting on the front cover of my CD/DVD, here is the photography I took myself that I'll be using for my front cover:

The camera that I used for these images was a Kodak EasyShare C340 taken at a maximum resolution of 5.1 Megapixels

CD/DVD Cover Development - The 'Development' Process (Part 2) (7/5/2008)

Deciding what CD/DVD Cover to develop on for this project is honestly quite frustrating, after days of thinking and getting suggestions from other classmates in Cert IV Digital Media. I decided to use the DVD Cover (See the blog, CD/DVD Cover Development - The 'Idea' Process for more information). The Cover is for a 'mock' Computer Software CD/DVD with Video Files.

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):
