Post Recording Production Considerations
 You've come to the point in your career where you are ready to launch your CD. Whether you are a musician, photographer, curriculum writer or artist, and whether this is your
first CD or your umpteenth, it is important to keep a few things in mind. The first consideration - what are you going to call this CD? If this is your first production, you may also need to come up with the perfect name for yourself, your band, or
production/art company. It is imperative that you take your time with this step and choose the best title to showcase yourself and your work to the world. Think about the content of your CD - what phrase, word or small group of words
metaphorically describes your work to perfection? Make it catchy and make it memorable. You want your work to stand out - the name of the CD is a big consideration in this process. 
Secondly, think about the images, the visual metaphors, the type of lettering, and how you are going to represent yourself or your band on the covers. These are critical, and you need to sit down and ponder on this for a while before contracting
for this work. If you are going to include photographs of yourself and/or your band, you need to figure out how best to do this. A high quality digital photograph is best for a CD representation, saved as a tif or png file.  Once these decisions have been made it is time to think about how you want your work presented. Are you going to include an inner leaflet or lyric sheet? What words do you wish to share with your future audience on these inner informational
goodies? Write these out in draft - we can help you edit your work to make your words sing with quality. We will ensure that the inner information is legible and interesting. It is our goal to create the best possible visual vehicle to make your CD
content shine! We know music, as well as curriculum development and art/photography showcasing, like the back of our hand. We are in touch with what sells - what moves people and makes them want to listen or view what is inside. Let us
create the artistic envelope that will enfold your brain child, and present it like a precious gift to the whole world to enjoy!

Promotion Considerations
 This planet is graced with many talented souls, full of creativity, with a message that the world is dying to hear. Yet, so many go unheard, unknown. How do you break
away from the norm and become a voice that is heard? A face that is recognized? It takes more than a good manager and marketing strategy. However, these are both critical. Your CD cover is part of the latter, a very key part of any effective
marketing initiative. You want to catch the listener's eye, as they browse through the rack looking for something new and different to buy. You want your work to stand out, to draw the DJ's hand as he or she combs through the studio archives to
find a filler or new song to play. You only have seconds to do both. People are sophisticated visual consumers in the 21st century - you have to make your packaging both eye-catching and memorial. We will help you to achieve this crucial goal, using color, design, texture, blended mediums, and metaphoric imagery to draw attention to your creative package. Images, text and titles will be coordinated to produce an aesthetic and worthy representation of the essence and spirit of your work and your own persona (or that of your band's or company). We are dedicated to helping you to discover the unique nuance of your professional image and to present that to the world through your CD packaging. You only have a few seconds to rivet their eyes and prompt people to pick the CD up and actually examine the contents. Many people make the mistake of hiring their neighbour or cousin to throw together a decent but often routine cover - at least at first. That is a sure fire recipe for getting lost in the fray. YOU want to go somewhere with your work, and you've got the intelligence to realize that if you are going to do it right, you need to hire a professional to do the job. Our packages are extremely reasonable, well worth the cost for peace of mind and freedom from headaches and worry. We are confident in our approach to design and will deliver your images and finished work on CD, ready for you to bring directly to the distributor. Our approach is perfect for the beginning artist who wants to start out with a few copies yet have the option to order more later. We are the creative department - you are free to find a local distributor to print the final covers and CDs at your leisure. | ||
