FINAL PORTFOLIO

Students should turn in a Portfolio CD containing the original files (.ai or .psd) from all major projects beginning with the movie poster through the CD package and poster by the end of finals week.
This is due in addition to the blog posts on your projects as well as history sites.

CD PACKAGE DESIGN

A.  6 Panel package should include somewhere:
1. name of band
2. logo for band
3. name of CD
4. logo for record company
5. list of contents

You are inventing everything.  The package design should convey the contents of the package. (The package design should in some way convey the genre of music, content of music, personality of band)  (The bands name and logo should convey a sense of personality as well) 

B. 1 poster:
1. CD release date
2. name of CD
3. band name
4. band logo
5. record company logo

On Wed., 12/3/8, we will spend half of the class time on a working critique, discussing our designs in progress.
