Constructing the CD

After constructing our front cover and inside of the front cover we have moved on to the CD itself. As a group we discussed various designs for the CD which we felt would link well to the rest of the digi-pak and then Charlotte created the following designs using Photoshop:

1) Firstly, we all felt that a large pair of lips was a good idea as many CD's are quite basic, as this idea is. It links to our research on Rihanna's CD and the idea of using a rose. It also keeps the CD linked to the front cover, where a large focus was on the bright red lips against a less vibrant surrounding, as you can see below:

We then felt maybe adding the artists name and album name above the image of lips would make the CD more interesting and less plain, however, this is rarely seen on CD's and did not look very professional so we have consequently decided against it.

2) The next idea we had was for the name of the album 'ignorance' to be written across the CD several times to cover it, linking to Kesha's CD. However, we felt this did not look very exciting or interesiting and therefore thought maybe adding lips begind the writing would improve this. We decided against this though as it is unclear what the picture behind actually is with so much writing across.

3) We decided that the lip image was a good idea but just not in the format it was before and so came up with the idea of smaller lips making a pattern across the CD, combining the ideas on both Rihanna and Kesha's own CD's in their album digi-paks.. The CD is now not plain and links with the front cover of the digi-pak. In addition, we selected the background colour from the front cover and made the CD background this colour to keep a consistant colour scheme.

Lastly we had to make the 'behind the CD' section which we have decided will be a plain blue background as it will mostly not be seen and this is commonly done. This can be seen in the image above.
