I started today by making a digital version of my logo for the band. Below is my final composition, after taking into account the feedback I got from this afternoon's crit - tampering with the letters U, Y and D.
I then began to experiment with the ink photos from yesterday.
Originally, my design had one copy of a manipulated photograph, underneath the above logo in white. However after printing it out, taking a break and having a Snapple, I could see that it wasn't right. So played around further, mirroring and rotating the images (four to a page) to create a more symmetrical and abstract composition.
The design on the left showed the text sitting on top of a translucent black box with a thin, white trim. The centre one without one, and the left showing a strectched black box and border. My favourite by far was the black square with thin white boarder, it just works for me!
Below are my designs at the end of a long Tuesday. The top showing the outside of the sleeve, showing the bands names on the front, wrapping the design around the back to show the tracklist. Both contained by black translucent boxes as well as a separate white boarder.
Below shows my design for the inside the inside of the album cover, folding out into a mirrored design of another inky creation, with general band/album information. Again contained within and black box, however without the white trim - I thought i was too fussy!
I will see my designs in the light of day and continue to tweak, as well generate an appropriate business card.
I'm really loving this project, finally getting my teeth into it!!
