My Thought Process

After hearing about this project I thought it sounded pretty fun. It's for a client and we have the chance in winning some money. Sweet. But I don't really know anything about jazz music. So the first thing I did was hop onto google images and just try and get a quick sense of some sort of jazz images. After a few minutes of stumbling around random jazz website I noticed everything is very colourful and pointy. The next thing I did was just talk to some of my freinds here in residence who are in the jazz program and just see what they think about it. All my friends truly love the program and have an outstanding relationship with the music they play. They also say it can be very relaxing to play jazz, but it can also be very technical.

After getting some information I had some ideas popping in my head already. I went to the computer with a few things to focus on in my design. Those things were "pointy" and "technical". I used a bunch of lines in my design, I thought they could resemble some sort of music note sheet but in a very ebstract way.

With the cd project I found that I was extremely focused and wasn't distracted by anything other then my rumbling tummy. I grabbed some food then went right back into it. I want to know whats wrong my cd with it so I can fix it up right away.
