Making a Cd Case out of Card - Drawing, sketching and designing - 18/19

Activity 4, another 3-D exercise to make a simple CD case. I'll sketch it out first and show you what I'm going to do. Basically constructing two squares. When I measured a CD case, the CD measured 120mm. So I've made my squares each 125mm. We need to put a tab on two sides, there and there, so that when it folds together, they're held together. I need to put another tab on the front. So it's a very simple activity. If you follow the dimensions in the workbook you'll end up with a drawing that looks like that. You can either do your drawing on a piece of paper like we did for the previous exercise, cut it out and stick it onto a piece of cardboard or you can draw it straight onto the cardboard as we did before. So here's my piece of cardboard from a cereal packet You can see that I've got the two tabs and these have been scored so that they fold over. I've got a third tab here and I can simply now fold that over, apply a bit of glue, ordinary paper glue along those edges onto there, fold that over, put something heavy on that for a few minutes so that it sticks and then you can try it out with your CD into there.
