CD Packaging Ideas- for those who are tired of having the same old boring designs
Is this your tenth, twelfth, thirtieth time to make an album cover for the same band and you're out of creative CD packaging, ideas? Or are you working on tons of album art that your creativity just ran out? I hear you. Working with the same materials and almost the same concept for numerous numbers of times will leave your brain cell dry. Projects become boring to you and you are tempted to make'safe' (aka mediocre) designs just to get things done.
This is not good for your client, and especially for you, the visual artist. It will eventually make you question your capabilities. If you're sick of designing the same stuff over and over and over again, try something new! Here are some creative CD packaging ideas, :
Special Edition Boxes. If your client doesn't have a definite idea of how he wants his album to look like and he's asking creative CD packaging ideas from you, then you can suggest having a die-cut CD packaging. This will put a bit of dimension and, possibly, spunk to your designs. These special boxes need not be too expensive or elaborate. All you need is a good concept.
Homage. To make an homage is to show respect or honour towards someone or something. For example, if the band is so in love with the works of Hitchcock, you can make an album cover that's influenced by Hitchcock films. Or, if the band allows you to come up with whatever you want, think of a famous album cover that you really, really wished you designed. A CD cover design that really inspired you as an artist. You can imitate some parts of it or put a bit of twist to the design but make sure it's clear that you're paying tribute to the original.
Parody. This is almost the opposite of homage. With parody, you poke fun to the original. You can do this by imitating the design and making a witty copy. Do you have an album that you want to
Put a little twist to your previous designs. If you're already designing for the 15th album of a certain band, you need not come up with a totally 'new' design. Look at the previous designs and think whether you have an album design that became famous or that deserves a comeback. Make sure you put a little twist to it- but make sure it's only little so the fans would still get the point.
Designing and conceptualizing album covers is quite challenging especially if you're doing to for years. Yes, the technical aspect becomes easier and easier but creativity will eventually start to mellow down. That is why it is very important that you are a well-rounded, balanced individual. Take short breaks and try to work on 2 different projects at the same time. Your brain loves this constant switch. I hope you will find my tips useful in your next project.
