The steps of making my CD cover.

Above is an example of a CD case template mine was similar however i drew and cut out my own as seen below.

Above is the outer shell box net, and below is the two CD holders themselves in net form. 

Using A3 card a pencil, ruler and scissors. it took me a while to draw as i had to get all the lines straight and then my cutting out was a little wonky, so i had more than one attempt. The next step was to cut it all out as shown below.

Step three consisted of taking all the pre-cut nets and scoring along the lines in order for them to fold easily.

After scoring all the lines that need to be scored ready the next step is  to fold each of the scored lines in order to stick the case together. Below is how i did this.

The next step is to add the glue or double-sided sticky tape to make the card of the case stick together and stay together to make it sturdy.

 the first image in the section is the cutting of a piece of double sided sticky tape i then place it on the flap i wanted to stick down (picture two) and the final image is the removing of the backing so it is possible to stick both of the sides together to make the pouch that holds th CD.

The final step is to hold together the areas that i wanted to stick together to make sure that the fibers have fused together so that the case will not fall apart and the CD becomes scratched. Then the case can be decorated as the album artist wishes. I then repeated these steps twice more once to create a second CD holder and a third time with some alterations to create the box that holds both of the CD envelopes.  

 I enjoyed making my CD case as i got to raid my my back bedroom at home looking for materials to create my case.

 

Here is the cover work for the outer CD case that i made as there is one main outer box and and two CD slips that hold the actual CD. I edited this image in Photoshop, i created it whilst i was experimenting with different effects and fonts. I like this image because its different and it is one of my images for the previous 

assignment which i have done on a Monday and Tuesday alongside this six weeks with Marie.  

This image is the cover for the Disc one of the two discs my CD cover holds. I chose this photograph because i thought it fitted well with the theme of the main CD cover. I used a similar technique to edit this image except i desaturated the original image to make it black and white. Then i created the vignette using a black brush instead of the white one that i used in the main cover design.
