Over the last days I have been concentrating on the creation of the CD disk roundel and the CD case design. This is so that, once my report is completed and properly formatted, I will not be stressing about how to submit my work.
I used an edited version of one of the photographs from my photo shoot, and worked on this. I sent this over to felt-doll creator Claire Fearnley, who produced my Cell Crew characters for me. She worked to my design guidelines and instructions to create a beautifully crafted CD case.
I desired this to have a bit of interactivity in it; therefore I requested that some of the elements were detachable, for example using Velcro. I used this for the cloud, the characters and the mushrooms and lady bird. I had to amend the original design so that the elements worked to a better scale, allowing Claire to create the intricate details which were necessary.
I have also been working on the CD roundel to compliment this. I decided that, as my final design of the CD case was fairly busy, I would use a very simple roundel design. I took each of the characters and expanded them, and used a clipping mask so that the main body of their faces could be seen. I thought it would be a nice bit of variation to use part a blown up version of the cell crew character alongside a very miniature garden setting.
I am just about to get a couple of these printed now, so that I can choose between them. I am so exciting to be nearing the end of this, with all my research coming along nicely.
What next? Once I have printed the CD label off, I will spend the rest of today working on my written report. I aim to have all of the written content situated nicely within my report, so that I can spend the rest of the next week or so working on the format, to make this as visually appealing as possible!
