3rd Prize.This is another skilful, simple and effective design. The case was entirely made of cardboard, which folded out with pasted pictures, and was held closed by a tiny metal clip. The theme in the artwork was also well executed. From what I recall, all of the pictures included were in the same element as the cover. A sort of propaganda like, golden age Americana idea, with an early technology or a science fiction sort of angle. Classic.
4th Prize.A picture doesn’t do this work it’s full justice unfortunately. This was another sort of cardboard creation that had been decorated over very well. It seriously looked like a finished product of an album that you would buy in a store. I’m not positive as to what the over all theme was, but it did include some sort of ‘social equation’ on the back. Something in reference to music nerds, or emotion in relation to music. I honestly can’t recall exactly, but I do remember being really impressed, and thus why it placed.
5th Prize.This was our final of five placements, although admittedly it was quite tough to choose, as we did receive a ton that would have also deserved to claim this very spot. I didn’t get a detailed look at this work aside from its decoration, which was a kind of fabric tape over the cover. Whenever I look at it now, it seems as if it would be a prison theme. That, or possibly Beetlejuice? Either way, this is another straightforward and successful design.

I was the one who picked the 5th winning CD and I can tell you it was a mix of artists who have been to jail (for at least one night).
Sweet. Great theme, I was curious about that.
If you have the time and patience please post a track listing.
The equation on the back of the 4th place one said "indie rock physics 101: m=(bn^2)^-1 music equals the inverse of band multiplied by band notariety squared" which was quoted (and properly cited might I add) from the way too hilarious questionablecontent.net. The inside was set up like a course primer/catalog, with 2 'semesters' 7 songs long each. I know this because I made it heh :: knows she is a huge dork :: :: blushes profusely :: This is my first year participating in the exchange and I think its an absolutely amazing idea, you guys deserve a lot of credit for organizing it. And the cd covers people made! I am so blown away by all the creative talent here. I just recently moved to Chippawa (its a suburb of Niagara Falls, everyone here is an octogenarian as far as I can tell) though, and am always up for knowing more people with similar music tastes in this region, so feel free to add me to msn, my address is mymindkills@hotmail.com. I'm 20 and fun. :: nod nod ::
