Inks and Fairy Glitter



FINALLY! I have decided the route of my branding project (a little late I'm aware, indecisiveness under pressure is a fall-back of mine) but I am very excited to pursue the design for a vinyl cover.

I have decided to work with my brother's band, using this opportunity to create something professional and to have fun it! His band is called Three Story Boulevard, being that there are three members of the band - Sam, James and Tom. The band's sound is in it's early stages, but focuses on a soft rock and acoustic element. 

I first played around with the bands 'logo' and whitteled it down to my two favourite designs. However I think that the design on the left is nice, but has too much personality, were the one on the right may give me more scope creatively. 



I knew that I wanted to work with photographic and textural elements, instead of creating something off Illustrator. So to play with this idea I went out and bought a bunch of dry fabric inks in the shades Aqua Marine, Fuchsia and Solar Gold. I had a whale of a time sprinkling, dripping, splashing and photographing these inks. Hopefully I have generated enough material for me to work with, using photoshop to layer and adjust to make textural graphics to combine with my text.
