Disc Research

As we are doing a paramore song, I typed in 'Paramore CD' into google just to see the kind of thing that they did with their digipaks, etc. The picture on top is the front cover of their latest album, and the photo below is a mash up of their 'Brand New Eyes' album and their 'Riot' album to create phone wallpaper. I happened to come across this and had the idea of repeating something over again, like a recurring theme of some sort. Although it is a wallpaper, we can still use the technique of repetition to create something interesting and different.

The Rihanna CD to the left shows the CD cover and the disc itself. When researching into CD's and their designs, I realised that most CD's do not have a photograph on and have some sort of simple pattern or design.

The CD to the left is part of the digipak of The Script. As you can see, the CD is consecutive with the front cover of the CD, with the same design. Also, it has a design rather than a photo, which seems to be the most popular way of designing a CD.

After researching into these CD designs, I think I have decided to use some sort of design on the CD that links in with the front cover of the digipak, instead of using a completely different photograph. The contiunity is profoud in this example and I think it looks a lot more effective that using a completely different design.
