My ideas for my CD packaging relate around a summer compilation. Ive chosen to call it "Three months" songs of summer. The type of genre will be alternate/rock, suited for a BBQ atmosphere/ summer drive,- it will involve artists such as Powderfinger, Little Birdy, Eskimo Joe, Kings of Leon, Jack Johnson, Lily Allen, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Cold Play, Marshall and the Fro, Empire Of The Sun and Ben Harper etc. Album cover will have a relaxed, hot summer feel. Beach graphics, loose text. Simple feel. Template for the cover will be a triple flip-out cardboard cover to fit in with the earthy colours and simple layout. Some album covers which inspired me include:

I'm doing an album compilation by female artist only. The genre of music will range from contemporary artist like Bjork, easy listening -Missy Higgins and and Sarah Blasko, Jazz by Diana Krall and Katie Noonon, House and Dance by DJ Miss Behavin, DJ Rap and Miss Kittin.
For the design and colour as a whole, it will reflect all things feminine . I have'nt made my mind up regarding the colour palette but 'm thinking more the muted grays and blacks with a contrast of yellow or go with girly colour of pinks, purple,green and pale blue...but we'll see.
