CD Cover Design Brief

San Francisco Bay area-based Legally Blue band just finished recording a CD named "Watcha Waitin' For?" in the studio. We need artwork for the CD wallet cover and for the disc surface. We have some basic ideas and a lot of photos to work with. We had a lot of fun recording this material, so we want the graphics to convey as sense of fun and a bit of blues attitude.

The CD wallet is a 6-panel design. Templates and instructions are uploaded in the zip files named disc_surface_template and wallet_template. We will need the artwork returned in psd format so we can make final changes in the text (song order, credits, etc.)

The front and rear covers of the wallet (the ones that are visible when it is folded shut) should use the stock photos provided in the front&back_photos zip file, or photos that you may provide that are very close. Sample images are provided that give you an idea of what we want, with the blue footed boobies on the front looking like they are waiting for something, and then dancing on the back cover. You will need to adjust the photo colors so that they are reasonably consistent. We want the feet to be bright blue (but not unrealistic looking), and the text to be the same color as the feet. We like the font on the samples, "Smudger LET", or something like that. It has just a bit of attitude.

The 3 inside panels (visible when the entire wallet is opened, should have text with the song listing on the left panel (not taking up the entire panel), and a collage of photos from the inner_panel_photos zip file on the rest of the left panel and across the middle and right panels.

The last panel (the one visible when the pocket holding the CD is closed) should have the photo of the band from the CD_sleeve_photo in the upper image area and copyright info and production credits below it. Use some creativity in adapting the photo, perhaps colorizing to match other aspects of the project.

Also draw from the material provided and use some creativity to design the graphics for the CD disc surface.

Don't feel constrained by our suggestion of font style or color. You designers are the experts, we're just the musicians :)Please note the CD packaging is a 6 panel cardboard wallet. It does not have a plastic insert to hold the CD. The CD is inserted in a sleeve in the wallet.There must be a space for the UPC barcode on the rear cover. Best if that does not cover up interesting parts of graphics/photos.Most important to have lots of photos on the inside panels of musicians playing instruments. A few of the others photos is ok.
