Best of CD Music Art and Design

A six inch square isn't alot of space to convey the essence of a seventy-four minute selection of hot jazz, smokin blues, or mainstream pop, let alone the roaucous noise of the colorful, image-concious "alternative" scene. Yet, a decade into the compact disc revolution, CD packaging design has evolved into a rich pop art medium. This book shows how designers of blues, jazz, and pop/rock CD artwork use the limited space in the booklet, jewel box, tray card, and disc itself to create images that complement the music and musician. Surveying the best designs of the 1990s, this volume is sure to inspire CD designers for years to come.
