We here at Unified are obsessed with beautiful CD packaging. We’ve been making creative releases since 2008 and lovely packaging has become an obsession of ours. We even have a Pinterest page dedicated to all things media packaging. If you want to make a really badass album with cool CD packaging, get a quote or shoot us an email.
Artist: Forrest Day
Album: Forrest Day
Label: Ninth Street Opus Records
Concept: Forrest Day
Model: Lisa Gemmiti
Year: 2011
The Bay-area bandleader who released his self-titled full-length debut came up with the design and enlisted world-renown model builder Lisa Gemmiti to help execute the album art.
The cover of the CD digipak features a jumper on the ledge of a building while reams of onlookers gawk.
“I was trying to capture the notion that America has a very voyeuristic attitude about tragedy. The figure on the building isn’t actually a jumper, he’s just trying to stay above the fray and set himself apart. It’s darkly humorous and represents the tragicomic vibe of my album,” explains Day.”
What I love about this CD Digipak artwork is the photo itself. No need for frills and gimmick with the CD packaging if you have a really catchy album artwork.
As you can see, it doesn’t take a lot to make a good CD artwork design. All you have to do is come up with a really solid concept and you’re good.
Do you like this CD packaging?
