A recent Digital Design brief required me to produce an ‘Illustrated Book’ about myself to potential employers. Music has always been a big part of my life and music CD artwork is very inspirational to me, so I decided to present the book in a CD/Record case form.
The case holds 9 carefully cut mountboards representing a song; one side, a vector image and the other side, a few lyrics from the song. I chose 9 songs that are relevant to the present stage in my life, my personality and hopes for the future. I made the case out of black card and flocked crushed velvet material.
The design of the case is very ‘baroque’ style, a decorative pattern that is almost always used with flocked material. It’s a ‘limited edition’ case- limited edition book and limited edition me! The colour scheme is very vibrant with all of the vector images consistently in black. The case can then be fastened with black velvet ribbon.
I love my book. It’s now on display at my desk :)
