After researching Merzbow some more and seeing examples of other CD package designs, I have a better idea of what I want to do with my project. We discussed in class that the overall package design should not only reflect the music, but other underlying themes as well. The idea that I had would be to package the CDs in a box that would resemble a recipe box. The CDs would each be in an individual sleeve that would be equivalent to a "recipe card". However, instead of having a recipe on the card, it will have information about the CD on it. The cards might also have information about the bird the CD is based on, but that would depend on how much room I end up having. I also wanted to add an additional element to the package, so I am planning on adding additional recipe cards, except there will actually be a vegan recipe on these cards. The whole box will be hand-made out of a strong paper board, but possibly covered in thin balsa wood to make it more presentable. I'm still trying to decide what other elements I could add to make the package more unique or collectable to people.
So far I have made a mock-up of the box in the size that it would ideally be. After constructing the box, I realize that I might have to adjust the dimensions somewhat after seeing how the CDs will actually fit into it. I've also made a few "recipe cards" to see what size they need to be to fit into the box. After working with the design and the mock-up a little more, I'm sure I'll make a few changes, but this is where I am at so far.
This is a sketch that I made to figure out the dimensions of the box and recipe card to determine how to make the mock-up.
