When I first began working on the design for the CD cover there were many things that I thought about before I went into designing the project. I thought about the different design principles and elements and principles that I would include and the different aspects of appeal, creativity, as well as readability of CD Cover. I also thought about how I would get my message across the audience and the reasons why I used certain design elements and features. In terms of design principles, I thought I did a good job using color in text backgrounds as well as balance and appeal through use of color and uniqueness. I also thought that my CD was creative because of the unique logo I used for the CD production company. In addition, I thought I would be able to get my message across to the audience because of the many different features of the CD cover including the attractive logo and information that should be included on a CD cover such as the track listings, which made it look authentic.
