  1. My Greatest Hits! The story of my life – in song!

  2. Task • Your task is to create a CD cover, front and back; the design should represent and reflect you. • You will need to select (or create) ten song titles that sum up important aspects of your life. • Your CD will form part of your autobiography coursework.

  3. Step one: • Make a list of ten important aspects of your life, such as: • friends/family; • interests/hobbies; • likes/dislikes; • music/food/cinema/books…; • major events/holidays/important memories…; • ambitions/future.

  4. Step two: • Take the ten points and convert them into short song titles which you think reflect that incident/event. • You can use song titles that already exist or make up your own.

  5. Step three: • Design a CD cover which you think reflects your personality and life. • Think carefully about the colours, images, font and layout that you chose. • Any images you use should be a reflection of you and the aspects of your life you have chosen. • Your cover should be the same size as a real CD cover and your song titles should appear on the reverse.

  6. CD Cover exampleA4 landscape – can be hand-drawn and coloured, a collage of cut-out images and pictures or printed on a computer.Images can be on both front and back or only the front.

  7. Inside of CD CoverOn a separate sheet of A4 you must create the inside sleeve to your CD cover. This will include your poem or prose – the introduction to your CD.

  8. Step four: • Write an introductory passage for the inside sleeve. • This could take the form of: • a poem introducing your CD/your life; • an explanation of your design and song choices and a description of why the aspects of your life you have chosen are so important.

  9. Poem - example • Success To laugh often and much;to win the respect of intelligent people     and the affection of children;to earn the appreciation of honest critics     and endure the betrayal of false friends;to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others;to leave the world a bit better,    whether by a healthy child,    a garden patch     or a redeemed social condition;to know even one life has breathed easier     because you have lived.This is to have succeeded.

  10. Step five: • Name your CD! Think carefully about what you want your CD to suggest about you – all words carry connotations so chose wisely.
