Pink Floyd Cd Label


This is a classic CD label that most people would recognize,  But the typography is terrible.  The near comic sans font mixed with the horrifying black stroke... it's like Willie's nightmare! I like the moon picture and the infamous prism, but the type is baaaaad.

Music Byte Cd Cover

This is a really cool idea. I like how the audio wavelengths of each song are displayed. However, why isn't it spaced to fill the back.  Or used another element of the design. it just leaves this awkward negative space that throws off thr design.  Weird. 

The New Record Cd Label


I love the design of this label. I'm a huge fan of negative space if its used properly. The name of the record balances the symbol really well, and the color scheme seems to match the font used really well also. Its a very very simple design, but I think it works perfectly.

Acoustic Patchwork Cd Cover


Fantastic play on words here.  Its punny really. But seriously, the design is great. The way the font is made out of quilt colors and you can see the left over string is a great thought. I also like the color of the background. I think that tan-brown color pulls together the whole piece. Good, ironic design!

Runaway Heart Cd Cover


This design isn't bad. Its meant to look like the classic black and white title and i think it pulls that look off really well. The font that is really full of serifs and the 3D style stroke is perfect. Plus, the slight gran on the design really pulls it together. The border and text decor is all really well done. Not the most original idea, but they pulled off the classic look really well. 

We Were Young Cd Cover

This is some very interesting photography on display here. I think it is suppose to be a moon made from some sort of fog or an upside down sky that we see through the trees. Its very strange and I'm not sure i like it. I love the broken font in the title and i like how small it is. But the overall aesthetic it just too far fetched for me.

Cherry Tree Days Cd Label


I think this is disgusting. Every bit of it. The font is ugly has no readability, the weird dotted line is out of place and doesn't fit in the design, and the puke green ring around the design makes everything look even worse. All bad. No good... At all.
