Successful CD Package Analysis

jtirrell — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 15:43:09 -0500

Post in a comment your observations about the CD package you selected to analyze. Please include the artist's name and album title, and a link to Amazon if possible. You do not have to produce a full design plan, but you should demonstrate insight into the package's rhetorical components (sense of purpose, audience, context, strategies, medium, arrangement) like we did for our example in class.
