Freebie: Cover Art for Your Cd Art Display
About 2 years ago I have done a similar project, and it Actually looks like this:
Since my music takes more and more space in my hard drive (somehow it seems my taste hasn't shifted that much), I decided to make another set of cd art no matter what, for everyone (good for you!!) and myself! Well, my very first design goes like this:
Awful?! not really, especially when adding few colors and the right font, but I kind of abandoned this design, and came out with something I really Really like and am proud of, so allow me to introduce the whole set with the nice default Cd Art Display skin:
Basically, the concept originated from an old avatar of mine - made of cars and vibrant hues - only this time I limited the colors and played with shape, proportion, and position. Each one was sort of designed based on my intuition when listening to the corresponding genre; take Soft Rock, which I really respond to, it's always a bit too sentimental, too artificial and too sweet, and that's why the design shows just a bit of the front side of the car to minimize the effect of "Too."
Anyway, I really enjoy myself when doing this project, if ever you need something else from the Rock genre (you can visit http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=73:20 to see all the classifications), hit me a note. I'm planing to make some more 'cause how can one live without Jazz or Electronica?! All I need is the right color plus the perfect typography, you know. :P
And where is my awesome cover art collection?! Just click here to download the whole set, including:
A clip I made for this project:
Note:
1) font for this project: Oil Crisis A, Regular by Ray Larabie
and Diavlo
2) You can put all the images in C:\Program Files\CD Art Display\Covers or put them one by one in the folder with identical name. If you need some help, just leave me a comment or hit me an email ian[at]aloftofmyown.com. :P
