Summer is here

So yet another year is over at the university and I have a busy Summer in front of me since I feel that I haven't quite reflected on the course with 100% of my abilities, so I am spending the summer doing research and looking more at artwork and contemporary design, try keep notes and view loads of tutorials to expand my skills and knowledge on software programs. Other than that I will try to replicate many f the designs to learn more about how they are done.

Todays findings is the album artwork from a band called Sigur Ros. I saw their albums and covers at Hal's house and it stole my attention. Beautiful artwork, photography and simplicity. It of course reflects on the bands style and their peaceful style of music. Here is some of the artowork and packaging. I loved the paper that the images were printed on and the folded into cd covers.















Soft colours and elements of nature is what captured my interest mix with the handwritten type on the outside and inside of the covers, with ink splatters and doodles. Some of the photographs are eerie but peaceful the same time. I would recommend whoever hasn't listened to the band before to do so. Sigur Ros ( Icelandic band).
