This week wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. But we shall let my grades be the final determiner of that. ANYWHOOO…

The last project for design class was to redesign a CD. So I chose Trace Bundy’s (the acoustic ninja) CD “Adapt.” And after coming out with a design that I thought was fairly solid, my teacher completely shot it down. So I had to rethink a lot of my concept.

FYI: trace bundy is an amazing guitarist who often sounds like five guitars, even though he’s just one guy and he’s just playing one guitar. yes.. it’s sick. it makes me barf.

Here’s the original CD:

the bottom of the tray card.. printed at kinkos, cut with my exacto, taped down with double-sided tape

the tray card.. in the tray. it looks shiny! oOooOOOoOOoo (that’s for you jenny hahahaa)

cd surface. it’s also printed at kinkkos, cut with my exacto and taped down with double-sided tape

the booklet on the left and the bottom of the tray card make up the neck and the bottom of the guitar

the booklet on the left and the cd surface make up the neck and the head w/capos. TRIPPY!

inside booklet with info of songs

front cover. the neck from the tray card helps to continue the neck on the left side through the see-through panel

also to note: the brown background shape is a guitar. which continues throughout the cd. for example.. with the back of the booklet and the cd surface.

everyone liked it. and my teacher said she liked it too. i am at peace.
