So a long time ago I started with this project for a talente musician that i think is going to be Huge within a year or two. His name as I said in an old post is Bobby Long. He plays really interesting music you guys should check out his sounds at his page on my space: Click here
Anyways John and I were breaking our brains a couple of days ago thinking on how I could expand what i had into a portfolio piece. He gave me some suggestions to develop the brand, and the concept itself one step forward. For this purpose, I made these 2 other pieces a desktop design, and the myspace page design. I loaded it on mine to test it a couple weeks ago.I really like the way it turned out. check it out.
Now Bobby added it to his profile and is using it in myspace, which is kind of cool. Also his icon image is the album cover I made, which is neat too. Although the cover is never going to be used for album purposes I think the visuals of this project, the look and feel of the grunch-folk vibe you get from all the elements together match thier purpose. I hope you guys enjoy them as much as i did making them. Check out the music and let me know if you agree with me.
John gave me an awesome suggestion which i'm working on now, after i just got the screenbackground done today. I'm going to design business card-demo cards cd's that could be sent out to places that might want to check out the songs. These cd's are tiny i think they are actually the size of a business card. 3.5 by 2' inches. I think this would put the bow to this Image-campaign all together. Tshirt would be nice, and posters but that doesn't seem as creative out of the books. I'll Photograph some of the items, and place them in my portfolio all together.
This items might never see the light of day officially. and I might offer them to Bobby in case he wants to use them, but the purpose of them is sonly self satisfaction on a visual that i consider has lots of potencial, and i think captures the style of music in great visual way.Also super marketable and recognizable, and visually strong enough where once you have looked at it you'll remember it.
Here is the screen desktop with a save the dates kind of deal... More to come...
