As i thought the previous designs were too rough, but still wanted to continue with the Designed Designer idea, simplification was at hand.
With the new designs, i wanted to be a little symbolistic with more 3D realistic looking images.
Instead of just pasting everything together in photoshop, i thought to actually make a physical collage and then photograph it. The new design also incorporates other 3D Image such as lego blocks, wooden blocks, sketch pads… anything that i though were influences to take me towards becoming a designer.

CD DESIGNS

As seen earlier, my design concept attempt was to produce a DVD/CD case that was themed around drafting and craftsmanship in a sense. Creating images that imitated blue prints was to try and get across the idea that the process to becoming a graphic designer through all past experiences with technology and creative discovery, was something that could actually be drafted, showing the “DESIGNED DESIGNER”.
Although i didn’t really like the Blue print idea anymore past my 2nd mock up, and the yellow card outer was really just a fill in as i had no idea what i was going to put on the outside.
The new design still continues along the same lines of drafting, but with the use of Graph paper, which is scribbled on, and written all over.

From the previous design, i thought were too rough, based directly from the original idea of creating a collage of different aspects about myself in terms of creative interests and past experiences with technology.
The next mock up was an attempt to re-design it slightly to have more of designer feel.
Its box with the use of a die cut could show fractions of the design itself underneath, to then be revealed completely when the inner Dual CD / DVD case is pulled out.
