Back From The Dead

Omigosh I am so very nearly finished my project for VCaD, I'm designing a virtual band's CD (well, not really virtual, since I am actually going to make these but they don't know that). Ive done the whole shebang: cover (the whole little booklet, which includes pictures of the band members), disk design, in lay tray (under the disk) back with the track list, and even those foldy-uppy edges that show up on the sides of the CD case. Its pretty cool, and turned out way better than I had imagined.

 There has been soooo much work put into this, because even though I've known the design I wanted to do fromt he beginning, to complete the folio we need at least ten ideas, each significantly different from eachother, as thumbnails, then to develope three of them. So yeah it was a pain doing all those different designs when I knew which one I wanted from the beginning. It's what I hate about this subject.

But then the end product is what makes me absolutley adore it.

Since I have so much in the one design to show, I've actually got two CD cases and will have one showing the front and back, with the other showing the insides, and then the booklet out separately (obviously I've printed out more than one copy of the cover) so people can look through it. It's gonna be sweet and I sooo want to get into Top Designs, that would be my absolute dream.

It won't get me any marks, but since I actually write songs, and the tracks I listed on the back are all songs I've made, I'm going to see if I can have a CD player with my display and have the CD playing for people to listen to while they look through the display.

Last folio check I had a 21/25 for my folio, which is a good 84%, and A, and the teacher said I could easily get that up to a 25/25. and I need an A to get into Top Designs (along with a good design and finished product obviously) so fingers crossed !

Anyway, those of you who go to my school can look forward to seeing this at the Cre8 festival which I can't remember when it's on and I've totally lost the notice T_T

Oh well, find out when it is and come check out my shiz~ there will also be lots more great stuff there, all from VCaD, Art, Media, Systems and more I think. Gonna be great.

Signing Out,
