This is bordering off subject, but because artwork has such a huge impact on the purchasing and marketing of music, I'll keep going - DR did a fantastic job of visualizing a lot of music that never had such a metaphorically perfect representation. Take all the Autechre designs they did on Warp, the album really "feels" visually like the album sounds (or in my humble opinion it does).
Take Nude Photo (if you've got the original), and all the other Alan Oldham illustrated releases, that feels like I expect the album to sound, and like it or not, that's a huge feat for a designer. Believe me I know! It's hard doing artwork that the artist and label feels effectively expresses the music on the release. ps. Anyone have the emotional distortion album by Chris Grey? What do you think of that design? - Giles D I G I T A S // B O S T O N -- Giles Dickerson Art Director 800 Boylston Street Boston, MA 02199 -- mobile 617 899 9635 office 617 369 8601 > ---------- > From: Giles Dickerson > Sent: Monday, May 20, 2002 12:35 PM > To: [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [313] Speedy J - o.t. sleeve design > > They doa lot of stuff you don't see too. their posters are off the hook. > > - Giles > > D I G I T A S // B O S T O N > -- > Giles Dickerson > Art Director > 800 Boylston Street > Boston, MA > 02199 > -- > mobile 617 899 9635 > office 617 369 8601 > > > ---------- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Monday, May 20, 2002 12:34 PM > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: RE: [313] Speedy J - o.t. sleeve design > > > > > > > > yeah but the rip-offs are never as badass as the actual DR stuff. > > Seemed to me the DR had a "dry spell" for awhile there, but this sleeve i > > dig. > > looks like some original sh*t. > > > > -j > > > > > > > > > > "Giles > > > > Dickerson" To: <[email protected]>, > > Jennifer Wiringer/Det/J Walter [EMAIL PROTECTED], > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED] "fab" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > > "Neil Wallace" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > tas.com> cc: > > > > Subject: RE: [313] Speedy J - > > o.t. sleeve design > > 05/20/02 12:26 > > > > PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Or learn from them too !!
