Subject: RE: CD cover art, what makes a good cd cover
Hi Are you doing an independent project??Usuallly they have a pacage that gives you a front cover and then on the back of that peice of paper some liner notes (1 page Or a fold out afair for all the info ) and then a back cover . I usually put the songs titles on the back with authers and time of peice. So this leaves lots of space for the front caover to set the mood of what you are protraying.. Simple is important for making an Inpact.. SImple information.. the name of the band or artist and the name of the cd.. This can get confusing.. Artist Name/Band name big and CD name abit smaller. and atrfully engaged into the photo that sets the mood. Two thirds of the page being the photo and then the writing over uninportant stuff is the idea.. You can go to Discmakers.com and get a set up to play with on your computer.. Look around at what you like and respond to and have some fun.. One very inportant thing though.. Do remember to put an adress and email and phone number on the back cover clearly to be seen so people can find you!!!!.. All the best Guy
