Product Description
The best-selling CD-Art captures the finest CD cover and packaging design from around the world, and provides an international showcase of innovative work. This timely updated version of the original hardcover book looks at developments in the music industry today, and includes new work produced for the growing download market. The book looks at the ways in which designers excite the senses of sight and touch to create a fuller experience of a product more commonly associated with sound. Through a wealth of case studies, it shows how designers exploit the two- and three-dimensional qualities of CD packaging to create unique, collectable items. It explores not only the traditional elements of design image, illustration, typography, and packaging but also innovative materials. Case studies look at how artwork is selected, created, and applied to CD packages; how designers make the most of the standard dimensions for CD packages; and at the use of special formats, unusual materials, slipcases, etc.

Its not something you would normally consider as an important design ethos, but the evolution of CD packaging has come a long way. Of course, most of the innovative designs have been in postmodern genres, but its credit that someone has finally compiled a book on all the various methods of packaging that have occurred over the years.
This may not appeal to most audiences, but if you're interested in graphic art and composition, then this is highly recommended. Of what little text their is, the author explains the pro's and con's of various style DigiPaks, the need for a change of thought when condensing design down to a smaller scale, and how we compare our feelings with this smaller, tangible product as opposed to the classic 12" cover. The net result throughout is that although the feeling of flicking through 12"s will never be replaced, the scope for DigiPak's is extremely wide.
The book is a nice size and, in my opinion, very well priced here on Amazon for the amount of content you get. I've also noted that their are various other books available in this line of products, so check them out too!

This book is worth the money - but be aware, it is small by dimensions.
I knew the first edition - and was surprised when ordering this revised edition - my fault!

This is a small handbook-sized design book.
At 176 pages, it contains enough CD art to serve as a reference book. The best part of the book is actually the captions provided for the featured designs. They explain the goals and concepts behind, which set the readers thinking.
Also included are interviews with several designers on the challenges faced in this particular design medium.
It's a nice book.
