So I fell in love with The Fray and their new song "You Found Me." Since I am a designer, and still like to go buy the actual CD to see the cover design, I went to Best Buy to get it today. Its actually really interesting - it is the first CD I have seen that is done without the plastic - a fully cardboard case. I am wondering if it is somehow a "green" thing. It has pockets for the book and CD, although I would like to make a suggestion on the CD pocket - it runs entirely to the edge and makes it slightly difficult to get the CD out. Overall it has a real nice feel to it - nice paper quality. And the book on the inside has a gritty photojournalism feel to it, with the names of the songs written in neon and put into different landscapes.
Is neon the thing this year? The Express bags referenced a few entries ago were a similar style, though they have recently switched over to bright spring bags (not nearly as impressive).
