I recently did two posters for friends of mine who are promoting and playing a couple shows at the end of the month. I finished The Flyboys’ poster about 10 minutes ago, and in terms of quality it knocked the socks off my other poster. The poster for a show at Rancho Relaxo unfortunately did not fit into my scanner (silly me!) so I had to resort to taking photos of it, which did not turn out well at all. I included a colour version which is being used for online promotion on Facebook and Myspace.
Too Many Shadows (Album Cover)
I just did an album cover for Pinback’s Too Many Shadows. It took me all day yesterday to make it in illustrator and I am pretty pleased by the results. It’s not the band’s actual cover, their original really sucks so I decided to revamp it a little for my Graphic Design class assignment.
The theme of this cover is related to a song on the album called “fortress”. As you can see there is a nice little fortress on a lonely mountain on the cover. The track listings on the back are supposed to look somewhat like a crossword puzzle, which is also drawn from a song on the album titled “Non-Photo Blue” with lyrics at one part which say “crosswords filled in non-photo blue”.
