Assignment:
Design the packaging for a product. In this case a compact disk.
You need to design a cover, a back and sides, and the CD itself.
The final product
should be a three dimensional object with printing on all sides.
Make up a band
name and decide what type of music they play. Make sure it is appropriate
for high school. You need to include some kind of logo for the band,
song titles, copyright information.
Should include
the following:
- Artwork that
is consistent with the product being sold. You may use photos,
but you need to draw original artwork.
- Type that is
consistent with all the other type in the design
- Type that is
consistent with the product being sold
- Type needs
to be placed in an appropriate area of the design and should
be legible.
- The design itself
should be consistent with the product
- Final project
should look like a real package. In other words, if it a box, it
should include all flaps, folds etc. to make it open and close properly.
- Type should
face the right way after the design is folded.
- Type needs to
be prioritized
