Bloc Party CD coverby ~timmiboi

Designs & Interfaces / CD Covers

Didn't know there was a designated CD cover category

Just finished this assignment at college. We had to design a CD cover for a band and album of our choice, but try keep within their design language. We had to design one using "high-tech" print techniques and one using "low-tech".

This is my high tech. As you can see, it's a plain simple sleeve made from a die I designed myself, but under UV, a printed circuit board appears. The concept being a "Silent Alarm", the title of the album. You don't see it, but it's there.

As a marketing tool I ran past my lecturers, I would make no mention of the UV to buyers, they would have to find it by accident and share it with fans online and the like.

I hand drew this version, using a security marker and UV LED torch, but ultimately it would be printed in UV.

Excuse the shocking montage. I didn't have the patience or inspiration to make a proper one.

Dude this is so cool it makes me want to have glow-in-the-dark circut boards printed on my feet...

Mmm... Seeing as this ink is eco-friendly, do you think you could paint a person with it and then do photos of them? Ahhh... Photo ideaaaaa!

Dude, the best part is, there are gonna be UV torches for sale at the clubhouse soon on account of a nature walk. Turns out scorpions glow under UV light. I wanna get some more heavy duty torches than the security ones I bought. We'd also need more ink

In other words, I'm dead keen for it boy-oh!
