CD DESIGN STEPS

the first stage of producing a Cd cover is professional scanning. The type of scanner used is high quality drum scanner that scans original photographs. The designers who will be doing the scans will be in charge of cropping, resizing and changing the photo type to a CYMK type. they basically would be doing all the adjusting before the next step.

The next stage would be starting the design but the designer would be receiving help from a professional art director to make sure the design is perfectly designed and appropriate. The Cd design would also be enhanced to improve attraction mainly by adding strong textures and effect to it.

Your design of what you sent to the design support team for them to adjust it would be sent back to you but only a hard copy, but the design they fully did would be printed to one of their design proofers. Within a 24 hour period new copies of the design would be sent to you for your approval. If you end up fully satisfied with how your design looks then its all up to you to send it to your design manager know to publish/ print your design to the streets.

CD DESIGN of david odd, comparison

This album is called' View from hear' by David Oddo. This is an example of a good and yet creative album cover. Album covers are usually created using photoshop, fireworks or the highly exclusive photo impact 12. There are certain aspects you have to think about first when creating a album cover. The main thing to think about first is the type of genre the music is, who is it aimed for and why them, because not every one would like the type of music that it is. you would also need to think about the attraction, how good it would look. If the music genre is Reggae then it would be best to use bright colours such as red, green and gold. considering the music is originated from jamaica the colours would bring a huge attraction to caribbean cultured people. In this photo you can clearly see the Cd cover represents a more pop/rock type of music. there are shadows of people drawn on the cover that can give you the idea it is a pop concert or a rock concert.

Whats the secret to cd designs?

One of the answers to this is that designers use:

Label makers- they use some of the best labels to produce the best looking album covers, the label makers are sure to give you Cd covers a great and attractive look and is also sure to have what it takes to satisfy you. the label gives you creative, decorative, imaginative and a original art for you Cd or Dvd. it gives a creative look for you Mp3, WMV or which ever type of music you choose.
