CD research

These are some of my CD's that I chose to look at to give me inspiration for making my own CD design.

5 of these CD's have very basic designs, such as the JLS CD which is plain black with one small piece of typography in white. 2 of the CD's feature an image of the artist. 3 of the CD's have a more complex design, such as the Sum 41 CD which contains some typography, a bright colour background and lots of different random images covering a majority of the CD. 

I think the CD's that are in between to simple or too complex and the CD's that feature an image of the artist are the most effective.
