Seeing as Fred liked my design for the Laurie Anderson concert I was talking about yesterday, I thought I’d have a root around in the archive and see if I could find anymore examples of my design skills. Unfortunately, a lot of the King Crimson designs are in a format I can no longer read (anyone got a copy of Easy CD 3 or 3.5 they could lend me?) but I did find these three Genesis sleeves for your enjoyment.
I think I am a frustrated graphic designer! But I remember really enjoying coming up with designs for those albums using existing elements I’d scanned it or grabbed from video stills.
With my own CD designs, I tend to keep the concept fairly lightweight because the more colour you use, the more ink you use and if you are printing a large run on a crappy inkjet printer, it is going to cost you money. So I tend to make sure there is plenty of white space on my sleeves and don’t get too clever with it!!!
