CD design

I first of all want to point out the graphic of the fist and how awesome i think it is.  The strong graphic of the fist makes my eye go there.  I also like the color scheme and how it is simple with just 3 colors and nothing to crazy going on.  I think the ballon shapes on either side of the bassnectar title needs to get some more breathing room between the edge and the image, and it needs to be centered better its more left heavy than right.

Full CD liner

I Dont like the type on any page of this cd booklet.  I do like the texture of the photoshopped image.  I like the placement of the type, and maybe even the fire lives on the cover, but i think a new font is NEEDED.  I like how half of the person is on the back while still being on the front. I still think the Type needs some toying with.

CD Side/Back

I think the photoshop work needs to be finished on this back cover but i want to focus on the side.  I enjoy the type they used and the white on blue works well.  I do expect higher qaulity work from Universal Records.  I can see all the sloppy work done on the back cover, it is very obvious, i Have to give this a C-

CD back

I like the simplicity of this back cover.  The image is not to heavy and everything seems to flow nicely. The white type works well with the background color.  I need to remember to put a barcode on my cd case, i have almost forgotten how vital that is for a product.  Its the small things that get overlooked.  the sides are also well done, using a shade of the background color, just a bit lighter in color, i like it.  I also like how the type next to the barcode is in uniform and has good continuity.  If this was my piece i would make it more colorful and use a different font for the list of songs, it almost ruins the entire back cover.  Every other piece of type looks great, thats probably why.

CD back

I like the cloud to sand(?) to sky transition of the main background.  I notice there is NO barcode.  This may have been missed? I like no love the font that was used for songs(?).  The white dove in the sand area really fills the empty space well.  The artistic illustrations are great, i always admire art like this.  It's almost fun and no matter how the cd design is put together the illustrations like these seem to make it work no matter what.

Its always fun when the cd design takes 2D and pushes it to a more of a different perspective other than just a falt design with text.  These 3D puzzle pieces that look like they are falling really makes this design worth having on your cd.  The cooler your design looks the more people will be attracted to it.  That is always a plus in the design and business world.

CD Back/Sides

We all know Eminem or Marshall Mathers and his success, but when we look at the back of this cd cover it shows in his success.  with success like he has had comes with high quality designs, people expect this.  I think this is a great example of good design, sure some things could be tweaked like the multiple different sizes in all the type( could be simplified to 2 or 3 sizes all around).  Take notice to the sides the logos are pushed all the way to the sides, i think the should be more centered because the cornered bevels around th cd case will distort the words.
