DVD covers are not gone entirely even though today you can purchase music online and the same goes for movies. There are still lots of great album covers and movie posters out there you just ahve to search a bit to find them.
With itunes and photoshop technology taking over it seems those amazining paper introductions to our music and movies are a lost art. However have no fear of losing that nice paper CD cover, you can now make your own Bespoke Packaging!
One website details how the designer listened to the music of the album and then drew up a picture of how the music made him feel. There are illustrations and examples and apparently its a very easy process. The end product shows a multitude of different CD covers a in a variety of colours and type effects.
The way the letters are shaped and the colours used do seems to denote what type of music the CD consists of. Jagged letters in shades of red seem to suggest rock music whilst soft shaped rounded type in shades of blue seems to suggest more mellow relaxing style sounds.
