Browse the blog post on CD Covers linked above. Look at how the styles change from decade to decade in terms of graphic design. Now use Google Images or other search methods to find your favorite CD cover for the 2000's. Ok, now go back in time to the era of Album covers of the 60's and 70's or older. Find your favorite Album cover.
Create a NEW PAGE titled Assignments Page on YOUR OWN WEEBLY SITE. Now create another NEW PAGE title CD & ALBUM COVERS.
On your CD/Album Covers post these 2 images of your favorite CD and favorite ALBUM cover. Write a few sentences about what you like about each in terms of the fonts used, the colors, photos (if any), and the overall design. What audience would each album cover appeal to? What mood does the graphics convey in each? Do you feel the larger size of album covers gives designers a better advantage in terms of graphic design?
Now find one CD or Album cover you think is awful. Post it in the same post. Tell us why this is poor compared to the other two you selected. How could it be improved? Would you be likely to buy a CD (if anyone still does) if you did not know the band's music and the graphic design was bad?
Publish your site. Now go to your published website CD & ALBUM COVER page and copy the address of the page that appears in your web browser.
Go to our ANGEL SITE. Now click on CD COVERS FORUM. Reply to my post about the assignment. Click on the LINK option in the bar of options that are shown above the message box. Paste in your website CD & ALBUM OOVER page address.
