Signal Blister is well on it's way to becoming a realized physical product.
With the design and layout of the packaging complete I am currently working on
assembling the CD case. Everything is being cut and put together by hand so it
is taking some time to complete each one but it is coming along well. I have
never assembled a CD case or any physical package for that matter so this has
been a great learning experience.
Above is
the cover art. The album cover is a wrap around gatefold style CD case. The
right half of the image is the front of the album with the left half being the
back. Since the music relies heavily on textures and soundscapes I saw it
fitting that the artwork should convey the same feeling one might receive while
listening to the album. Prior to this project, I had never taken
photographs for art purposes so I seized this as an opportunity to try it out.
Pictured below is the interior art for the album. Together the images reflect a
cracked and fragmented landscape, something distant, far away from here. Something
that has barely survived a long tormented relationship with a dangerous and
unknown act of celestial wrath.
Above is
the design for the CD sleeve with the credits and the track list. The sleeve
will house the CD and slide into a pocket within the case.
More soon
on details regarding the final product. Stay with me...

Ah shit, those pictures are like nostalgia for me. Or more so just reminders of where shit went and has gone... Nights drunk and high in squat houses, abandoned factories staring at the paint flakes. Picking at them. Painting spots up broad day, walking down dark hallways, not giving an F 'bout what the cops say. Belly full of liquor, smoke thicker than the paint thinner we used to snicker in the wicker... Not being close to home, without a car, or a red cent, in the middle of winter can drive man to do sick shit. D;
ReplyDeleteGlad the pictures effected you in some way emotionally. There is definitely a foreboding presence about them, at least I feel and I'm glad you've picked up on that. Thanks again.
