TGJ 2O1 CD Design Assignment

Now that you have completed your CD cover and booklet, you need to hand it in and also prepare to present your work to your "client" (your teacher and the class).
Please follow these instructions to submit and print your work for presentation.

1. Double check your work - check for mistakes in layout, grammar, spelling etc. Get a second set of eyes to look at it for an objective opinion. Once you are satisfied, move on to step 2.
2. Drop all 4 of your files into a folder that you create on your home drive, with your name on it! Drop the entire folder into the drop folder (201 CD to submit)
3. Make an 11x17" @ 300 p.p.i Photshop file. Flatten (layers menu) your 4 CD files to copy and paste them into the new file. Close the originals, but DO NOT SAVE. Save the 11 x 17 with your name in the file and drop it into the drop folder (201 CD to print).
4. Ask Ms. Silverman to print your CD.
5. Trim and mount to a black board (provided) or fold into a jewel case (not provided).
6. Write up a statement and be ready to hand this in after you present on Wednesday.
Written statement AND your oral presentation must include:
  • Name of the band and CD
  • Style of music and personality of the band
  • Design choices justified to indicate how they work to express the style of music and personality of the band (fonts, colour, layout, images)

Note: You can refer back to my original examples for the random album cover assignment.

Bonus marks: Post the Final CD to your blog with your written statement.
