Extended Practice Prep: Music related ideas

Something music related - Band posters / Gig posters / CD art covers
  • think it would be fun to focus it around pop-punk / alternative bands that put out absolutely iconic tunes when I was growing up. Blink - 182 - All the Small Things, Fountains of Wayne - Stacys Mom, Evanescence - Bring Me To Life, Sum 41 - In too Deep, Bowling For Soup - 1985 - maybe a design for a compilation album. 
  • CD cover / booklet could include lyrics - working / experimenting more with typefaces
  • Gig posters is definitely something I'm interested in doing because a lot of gig posters are just photographs of the band these days but I really like the more intricate, artistic ones, they're more eyecatching for me. 
  • These things could easily be transferred into stickers / tshirt designs / merchandise
  • Could be a selection of bands or focusing on one band

Drew Millward has done a lot of work for the band PHISH, creating these posters. I think they're pretty neat, and many bands require album artwork etc. I think this project would have scope and definitely be very fun to do! A lot of band posters are just photographs of the band and maybe I could explore some photo-collage style stuff or something like what Hattie Stewart does - drawing over magazines.
