The document provides draft designs and cost estimates for a CD cover, CD back/spine, poster, and program for a band called Chase and Status' upcoming album "On Top of the World". The drafts are initial designs that will be further edited. Printing 1000 each of CDs, posters, and programs is estimated to cost around £2500 total. The estimated duration to create and print the products is 2 months.
2. CD Cover
Here is my first draft for their
CD cover, I decided to name
their album ‘On top of the
world’ as it is catchy and a
name that they would more
than likely name an album. I
made the draft using
Photoshop however did not to
any editing techniques on this
draft. The edits made to this
CD cover are yet to be
decided.
3. CD Back and Spine
Here is a more detailed draft of my
album back, it has been edited more
than most of my other drafts to give
some ideas of the blurring that will
occur throughout all 3 of my
products and how it will look. I am
going to add additional credits at
the bottom of the album and more
realistic things like reviews.
The spine of the album is
simple, containing the album
name, artist name and chase and
status’s logo.

4. Poster
Here is the draft of the poster I
have created. It is a very simple
draft and I have a lot of ideas for
the final edit. I am planning on
fading chase and status into the
image maybe making their images
larger to add more effect. The
background will also be darker.
5. Programme
Here are the first three pages of my programme, the fourth is on the following page.
6. Programme
Here is the fourth page of my programme,
the content of this page is yet to be decided.
7. Cost (CD)
• Chase and Status’s last album “No More Idols” as of march 2012 sold
over 500,000 copies and a deluxe edition was released.
• The only quote I could find on the internet for a digipak CD duplication
is 50p per unit (a unit consisting of 1000 CD’s) this would mean that it
would cost. 500 units is equal to the amount of copies no more idols
has sold in the UK alone released last year (500,000 cds)
• 500 units would only cost £250 from this website
• I however believe this is in-accurate and it
would cost over £1000 including full color and
quality
10. Estimated duration
The estimated duration of creating these
products is 2 months. This time duration also
considers the time for the products to be
printed.
