Luckily I found these various CD packages around the house after I had decided I wanted to design the packaging for one myself. It really helped to see various ways it could be done for real, instead of just on-screen or in books.
Kanye West fold-out album
Classic sleeve
Book cover theme
Simple sleeve with circular cut-out front
This is the original CD case where my idea for the final resolution came from.
Amazing pop up christmas design!

More relaxation & health packaging
Why I need a good design!!
The promotion of Laughter in the CD form being a way to stay healthy and fit is lacking to say the least. Bad designs on existing CD's have really made me want to excel in my designing, to produce a simple, eye-catching, persuasive CD package to get across the message and importance of laughter being good for your health.
Here are some existing Laughter CD's:
This CD is the one that I did in fact send off for and am re-designing their packaging to promote its 60 minutes of continuous laughter content as a way of staying healthy.

My favourite CD Design
Deftones CD cover
I absolutely love the typeface and layout of this cover. It definitely gives me plenty to think about for my designs. It grabs your attention, is loud, but not overpowering. The rounded typeface softens the edges and makes it read less harsh and I especially like the text being too big to fit on the cover so it wraps around the sides.

Magazine layouts
Every single one of these really excite me and it has made me realise just how much I want to venture into the typographic, editorial and layout side to graphic design. These are all going to be used as inspiration when designing my 16 page Design for Print booklet. Simple grids and clean cut but creative layouts are what I want to develop:
Modern Design magazine (2008, issue 13)
Dwell magazine
Official US Playstation magazine
Modern Design magazine
Life Lounge magazine
Keeping on track
Breaking new ground magazine
CD Typography designs
