Didn't know there was a designated CD cover category :P

Just finished this assignment at college. We had to design a CD cover for a band and album of our choice, but try keep within their design language. We had to design one using "high-tech" print techniques and one using "low-tech".

This is my high tech. As you can see, it's a plain simple sleeve made from a die I designed myself, but under UV, a printed circuit board appears. The concept being a "Silent Alarm", the title of the album. You don't see it, but it's there.

As a marketing tool I ran past my lecturers, I would make no mention of the UV to buyers, they would have to find it by accident and share it with fans online and the like.

I hand drew this version, using a security marker and UV LED torch, but ultimately it would be printed in UV.

Excuse the shocking montage. I didn't have the patience or inspiration to make a proper one.

Dude this is so cool it makes me want to have glow-in-the-dark circut boards printed on my feet...

Mmm... Seeing as this ink is eco-friendly, do you think you could paint a person with it and then do photos of them? Ahhh... Photo ideaaaaa! :lightbulb:

Dude, the best part is, there are gonna be UV torches for sale at the clubhouse soon on account of a nature walk. Turns out scorpions glow under UV light. I wanna get some more heavy duty torches than the security ones I bought. We'd also need more ink :P

In other words, I'm dead keen for it boy-oh!
