AAALLLSSOOO
Ok there has been a load of argie bargie about the Single artwork packaging, and alot of people from management changing their minds and people in production working out whether or not they can do the outer sleeve. We're holding fast and demanding it be done at all expense and luckily our manager is backing this decision which is cool. So fingers crossed its gonna be ok. The only changes that will defiantly be making is to the back image for the artwork, its been pointed out that for a first release its a bit much to have our faces so massive. whilst the concept is to kind of mimic our heads like mount rushmore, in a way that our head are the reflection of the city. anyway im gonna tone it down a little bit and make the heads smaller cause i don't want it to be arrogant so im gonna give that some attention. I have two weeks till i go to press......... good times.
sooooo yeah.. sorry to keep you in the dark
so yeah, im now floating about the country with my video camera and the band on tour, trying my best to discover the secret world of youtube and subversive media. I hate a whole lot of work to do, which im now having a chance to explor and has opened up a nice new dimension for my work, which seems to be taking a bit of a turn in a few places. As the project is a live project its not just graphics but also an exploration in to the world of marketting, and seeing as im actually in the band, how we are marketed is a very particular thing to me. so first off i designed two runs of tshirts to be taken out on the tour. Didnt really want them to look too much like band shirts, because lets face it, band t shirts arent very cool these days. So to stick a logo on a tshirt not only would make a naff tshirt, but also would make the wearer look not cool, and we dont want association with things that arent cool.... harsh, but true. So yeah these are the two designs we went for

I think thought they looked pretty cool, so we went ahead with them, but didn't get stock samples from the printers back in time so went for a pressing of just 50 of each shirt spread across small medium and large and printed on the basic fruit of the loom shirts. had a whole bunch of similar designs on the same theme and these were the best... so yeah.. sent them off they will arrive at the venue in Wolverhampton, and we will see which one sells best.
