CD Retro Design

Part A

Directions

You should have already created a vector of the singer with the video tutorial and filled in the color of the singer with colors from your color scheme.

Complete the video tutorial (you can either have the song title as the first line or the person's name, your choice) and download the font files from the Schoology assignment. Before uploading, make sure you have the following so you don't get points off:

• Make sure the singer's name written around the edge is evenly spaced around all four sides at the same distance and it is not too close to the edge. The example above is good spacing. It is also important that there are no gaps between the start and end of the text square. You may need to adjust the character kerning or size of the font or even add an extra symbol to fill in a gap.
• The text inside the rectangle should be stretched out to fill in most of the small gaps but don't warp the text to an extreme so that it looks weird.
• The vector of your image should be distinguishable and able to tell who they are and that they are singing.
• The outside color and inside color should be contrasting and consistent with your color scheme. Remember, you can always use black, white, and gray approriately since they are not really true colors.
• When finished, export as JPG in RGB in full quality 300ppi while using artboards range 1 and upload to Schoology.

Part B

When finished, use artboards to add edges .25 inches to each side like the example video. Then follow the tutorial to add the bar code, info, record logo, and side text.

Include the following text on the bottom of your design:

All rights of the producer and of the owner of the works reproduced reserved. Unauthorized copying, hiring, lending, public performance, broadcasting, sharing, and claiming as "mine" is prohibited.

When finished, upload the JPG in full quality to Schoology.

do not do:

Open the Illustrator file of your singer that you previously shot and edited according to the and remember to use your core color scheme (the same one you used for your CD label pattern). It should be the following dimensions (300dpi):

Width 5.95in

Height 4.65in
