Coachella 2007 Album Artwork

This was the final for my Color & Design class.

We had to create a CD of our choice, and then design the album artwork for it.

I chose Coachella 2007.

It really is the kind of thing you should see in person. It's meant to be held in your hands and each page opened one at a time...since it's almost like a children's book with the pop-up and cut-out business. I wanted it to have the DIY vibe. These pictures don't capture that as well as I would like. Although the imperfections of it were not intentional, I embraced them as part of the experience I wanted to create for the viewer. Texture is also a big part of that, and obviously you aren't going to be able to experience that through a photograph since you cannot touch it. But even with that said I think it is a playful, refreshing break away from all the oversaturation we have today with digital design and artwork.


All the photographs and drawings used are my own. Please full view!

And because you may not know what that brown & orange structure is in the 5th square/page, here's the picture i was working from: click.
