Planning a CD/DVD jewel case design
The aim of a jewel case design is to clearly communicate the theme of the content and who the intended user is. The following points may be useful considerations:
* Does the title and graphics clearly describe and support the content? For example, will a casual observer be able to anticipate what the program contains and covers?
* Is it clear for whom the program is intended? For example, is it clear what level of subject knowledge is required to use the program?
* Is it clear what version of the programme is contained on the CD?
In most instances the jewel case design must allow for inclusion of the following:
o Branding logos such as The University of Melbourne crest
o 3rd party software branding to fulfil licensing requirements
o A barcode version of the ISBN number on the back of the packaging
o An ISBN number on the CD/DVD printable surface
o A copyright line, for example, “© The University of Melbourne, 2003”
o System requirements
o Instructions detailing how to start the program
o A convenient position for a licensing sticker may be required. In many cases, the licensing sticker is placed on the outside of the shrink-wrap packaging. Other options for licensing include a license agreement splash-screen that appears at the first boot-up of the software.
