I’m quite pleased with the work I’ve done this week, although I would have preferred to have done more and have had more work to show at this stage of the assignment. This is mainly because I’ve only just started to design the CD package on the computer and thinking at how much time there is left, I should really have a few developed ideas and just be touching them up and choosing the most appropriate.
On Monday morning I was getting quite worried as I’d still not had an appropriate design for the CD package. After the lecture on Monday I got straight on with designing the CD package and started to look at the music with a more of a genre based theme. I came up with a couple of ideas and then had a look to see if I could find an appropriate image. After spending most of the day trying to find the image I was after, I had to change my idea slightly and admit defeat.
I spent Monday night creating the Digipak® Outer and was happy with the results. I continued on with the Digipak® Outer on Tuesday and am starting to realise that I need to get some more practise in using Photoshop. I had to use quite a few tutorials and ended up trying several different things to get the effect I wanted.
I found the seminar groups really enjoyable and got some good feedback on the CD package. I also get some feedback on the logo and applied it straight after the group. I now feel that the logo is finally complete and I can fully concentrate on the CD package now.
I am going to put plenty of self study in this week and hope that the CD package won’t be far of completion for next week. I can then do the finishing touches to everything and check it all over, so it’s fully completed for the next seminar group. I’m also going to start thinking about the evaluation this week and then make a start to it next week.
