Description
I had sooooo many creative ideas for this school project but everything was rejected by the tutor because he thought they were too complicated. Also, I originally had another concept for this project but he shot that down too so..... I went with a concept which was the plainest, simplest, and hopefully most difficult to find flaws with. -_____-I do NOT claim the floral design to be mine. It was taken off a fabric image and traced in Photoshop. (Not enough time, y'see) I still like how this turned out though. The pattern was lovely to work with
"TCHUA" = me
_____________________________
Since everyone keeps asking - What is it printed on? : Plain paper for the CD and card stock for the cover. This is just a mock up so it was only for aesthetic purposes. CDs + paper don't make a good combination in your CD-rom...
Good luck!

very cool design. it could beat those CD designs out on the market.
although you could have toned down the design on the CD itself.
i think it would be better if you left some white space on the CD like what you did on the cover.
it'll really look great that way.
that's my opinion, anyway.
but that doesn't mean that your work isn't great. don't get me wrong. lol.
it is great. but i'm just finding the design on the CD to be too cramped. hahaha. sorry.
i could never do what you did in 20 years. maybe even more. lol.
good work! keep it up!

The design on the CD is slightly tighter to make up for the white space on the inside of the cover. I did not want to duplicate the layout/design of the cover onto the CD. ^^
Thanks for the critique, I really appreciate it.

aww man, boo to getting your ideas shot down!!! maybe if you're feeling up to it you could do them on your own, in the future?
I always have big plans that people are like "WTF I don't think that's a good idea..." so I can totally relate
(haha granted, with what a stupid procrastinator I am, they are usually right... but dammit, I still try and usually get 80-90% of my goal completed anyhow!!
hahah)
Anyhoo, I still LOVE this design, regardless. You know me, huge fan of simplistic design.
That fabric must've been really pretty! I love patterns like that.
Gorgeous, gorgeous work. I know it's for your own stuff, but I think that a CDR you could purchase, or something would look awesome with that design, too!!

It'll be fun to experiment with my own concepts in future. Will definitely keep it in mind
Hehe.
I've never actually printed on a CD before but that sounds interesting. Perhaps I'll try one day. Thanks for the suggestion dear!

Yeah, pity.. a few of them involved some plush work and another was a more complex CD cover with more stuff inside (other than the CD).. but we were short on time so this had to do =_=;; Thank you

The case is just a folded piece of card with the design already printed on it.... and for the disc, I just printed it out on normal paper, cut it out and pasted it Haha.

I love that floral design. I actually have something similar to it in my mess of fabric.
The stark white background and simplicity work really well with the composition and placement of the design.
Great job.
