In our final project for our Design and Layout class, we were supposed to create some merch for a fictional band, or for a band that is not well known.
I chose to create some product for a friend of mine, a songstress who goes by the name of Birdie Whyte.
I had originally designed a vinyl record cover and decal
but could not get these printed to size anywhere in town.
I promptly formatted the design to fit a CD cover, back, the CD itself as well as the insert.
These had to be accompanied by real merchandise, so I made a logo using the bird on the back of the CD (a photo taken by my uncle), ironed it onto a Tshirt, and made a bunch of buttons with that image as well as many cowgirl images found online.
I would have really liked to have a photo shoot with Ms. Whyte for the project,
but she resides in Ottawa and could not supply photos in the genre she was looking for. Perhaps one day in the summer we could change that.
For the purpose of the class project, I had to seek photos from the web.
Please note that these are not for resale, they are simply for educational purposes.
Nevertheless, I am very proud of the work that I have done here, particularly on the CD cover itself. I hope to be able to work on another such project soon.
