“A formation of people, objects or things on besides/behind the other.”

I knew from the start of the project that I wanted to do something about people. But it took me a while to introduce lne into people. And then I did the obvious and drew people useing lots of lines. After doing qiute a few drawings of this I still wasnt sure where to go with it all, I thought maybe designing a calender but at this point I oly had a week untill the deadline and I dindnt want to rush it so I researching festivals to go to this summer and I saw Creamfields fest. This sort of dance music is very much surrounded in lines with all the lights and waves and things so then I decided on an album cover for creamfields.

I already knew exactly how I wanted it to look so I experimented doing more drawings and then scanning them in to use in Illustrator. This was the first time I had used illustrator but I knew to do a job like this in Photoshop would take twice as long and just look poor so I used illustrator and picked it up fairly quikly. After drawing around 5 faces on illustrator I put them together how I pictured. I drew Audio Boys, Calvin Harris, Goldfrapp, nd someone else. But when I put them together on 1 page it looked too much and even after moving them around and changing the colours and everything I still wasnt happy with it. So with a few days to go until deaadline I chose my 2 best line drawings which were the Audio Bullys DJs and decided on just doing there album. Which to my suprise they have a new 1 which hasnt yet been released so I took the songs from this new album and placed them on my cover.

I had the idea of it opening up into a poster 12cmX72cm. I was finallly happy with the results of my illustrations and so the day before deadline I went to print it off in College. I was suprised that everything printed off ok, I think this was beacause I learned In Design and used all the right measuements. However when I got home I made the wrong choice and because it wasnt possible to print my poster back to back I had to stick them together so I cut them both out and scored the edged where I was to fold each part and then I stuck them together wrong. There was no way of going back so I had to hnd it in all folded wrongly.

CD Packaging desighnes

I have decided to produce a creative CD cover. I want it to somehow open up into a long poster. I want it to be different from any other packaging so I have researched a few different covers that I like.
The first one is a cool packaging concept for CDs. Its most significant characteristic is the folded "claw" that holds the disc, and in an eye-catching way unfolds itself, presenting the disc, lifting it up and making it easily accessible.

It's as eco friendly as it gets, made of 100% recyclable or even recycled carton board or paper, and always printed with vegetable inks. It weighs a third of the traditional plastic packaging, thereby cutting shipping and storage costs by more than half, and... it doesn't break if you drop it.

I made quite a few versions of this poster and I chose and developed this one as I liked the texture feel. It is a contrast as the inside booklet is bold, fresh and bright where as the front cover and this poster are much more older looking with the coffee stained paper and the burned style type. However I think this works quite well as it proves the book is not just for kids.
The little bits of type spread out around the poster are Lyrics from MGMT song called 'Electric Feel.' I felt this is very relavent as if people do take the time to read and reconise the lyrics then it could be a perfect poster to put on your wall and also as my theme is on Plug sockets its to do with electricity right?
I added a copy of the lyrics as the poster is not clear and difficult to read with the old washed out effect covering....


all along the western front
people line up to receive
she got the current in her hand
just shock you like you won't believe
sun in the amazon
with the voltage running through her skin
standing there with nothing on
she gonna teach me how to swim

i said ooh girl
shock me like an electric eel
baby girl
turn me on with your electric feel
i said ooh girl
shock me like an electric eel
baby girl
turn me on with your electric feel

all along the eastern shore
put your circuits in the sea
this is what the world is for
making electricity

oh you can do it all the time
plug it in, change the world

i said ooh girl
shock me like an electric eel
baby girl

i said ooh girl

turn me on with your electric feel
