P-4: Visual Logic Record Album

P-4: Visual Logic Record Album

A visual logic approach to a design project is similar to writing poetry or composing music.
Research Martin Venezky’s (Appetite Engineers) writings and work on the subject.

This project is to create a Vinyl Record Album Package for the band and/or artist of your choice.
The design will include the Album Cover front and back (with lyrics), a Sleeve, and the record Label. If you wish, you may create a CD Album Package in place of the Vinyl Record Package.
That design will include a CD Cover/Booklet consisting of four pages (with lyrics) and the CD Label.

Use your Visual Logic Exercise and Explorations to help steer you in the right direction,
but use both your “inner eye” and “outer eyes” to guide you. All projects due on blog unless
otherwise directed.
