Two articles I liked was the long article on the band Ash's album covers, http://sqwink.com/news/2007/05/13/new-2007-ash-album-twilight-of-the-inn...
and the short post about "why album artwork no longer has backbone!"

I read the article New 2007 Ash Album, Twilight of the Innocents, Cover Art (CD Sleeve) Review. http://sqwink.com/news/2007/05/13/new-2007-ash-album-twilight-of-the-inn...

Well, I finally got around to reading the Album Art and CD cover blog. Theres a lot of information there, but a few of the posts about widgets and album cover utilities sort of caught my eye.

While I was reading through this short blurb on making your own CD Package I realized how much work went into simply printing the cover and the rest of the packaging. Earlier this week we were focusing so much on the design and layout and how to make the packaging look nice to sell it, that we never gave any thought to actually printing it off and how much work can go into something like that.

I chose to write about the article titled 'DVD Cover Design for Paint ball Club.' Although this is not necessarily related to an audio CD, the process of creating a visual representation of a film is not as easy as one would think.
