This is a fantastic CD cover designed by Magnus Berg and featured in Computer Arts' Graduate Showcase 2007. This is a really good example of how good illustration and design can be enhanced by knowledge of printing techniques.
"This album cover was printed with a spot varnish and then foil-blocked in bronze. It shines!" - Magnus Berg

Why did you choose to put this in? Was it just for the printing techniques or is there something else? Something more personal.
This was mainly for the technique used but I feel it was worthy to blog because it is visually very striking and takes influence from alot of craft and embellishment reminiscent of movements like Art Nouveau.
With the current trend for music listeners to download tracks for free rather than go out and buy the product, artists are facing a new challenge to get people to part with their money. CD designs like this are the right step forward i think, a really striking visual or impressive piece of packaging is something that is going to interest and inspire people into making a purchase. I think you've highlighted a growing trend in the industry here Cal, good stuff.
