Secret 7 - Studio Brief 01 - OUGD406

For the third and final module of this year, we have been briefed to precipitate in the Secret 7 brief, this is a widely known event that happens every year for a different charity, the chosen charity this year is Nordoff Robins, who help vulnerable children through music therapy.

The basic outline of the design task is to create a 7" LP sleeve for one of the following seven songs:

The Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be

The Supremes - Reflections

The Maccabees - Go

Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer

The Rolling Stones - Dead Flowers

St. Vincent - Digital Witness

Underworld - Born Slippy

My go to response for this would be Underworld, as this is not only one of my favourite songs from the 90's I tend to be more creative with music that interests me. In this case it is electronic music, or dance music, or the less referred to genre, 'Trance'.

The other song choices aren't necessarily bad, but for me as a designer, I respond to things I'm interested in much more creatively when I'm more engaged within the subject I am focusing on. In the past, I have created a 12" tribute sleeve for the DJ collaborative known as 'Eton Messy' (https://soundcloud.com/etonmessy). 

I feel this will greatly benefit me during the design process as I have already been through the steps required in order to design, prepare and print an LP cover and contents.
