CD format single - Now, Voyager

Once I reproduced the net from the single that I bought the other day at the record store, this format of single was reasonably easy to design as the assets were the same as for the 7" format. However I added some information and played around with the positioning of the artwork to make it look correct. 
This will be printed and produced on thursday in my print session. 

This was the first back that I produced using the typeface 'Champagne and Limousines' for the information. 
This didn't look right, it did not have enough impact and the information was in the wrong place on further inspection of the bought single. 
This information was needed on the inside of the cover, behind the disc. 
I added copyright and barcodes to make it valid at point of sale.

I then drew this up in Illustrator to the right measurements...



The 4 sides of the Single cover that I am using.





The net for printing.


I won't know how this looks until it is printed, but as a concept, I think that it will make a very effective cover for the CD. 
All the information needed to release this as a single is present. The colours work effectively together and the design as a whole conveys the message and tone of the song.
