the objective

A poster for promoting The Greyhound James’ Band debut double album releasing concert. I cut some vinyl with a paper scalpel and ruffled placed the remaining of the cuts on a table. I photographed using the light of a small lamp because I wanted a dark atmosphere.

The same image that was printed on the poster was used to do the concert program.

I also reused the vinyl against a glass, to experiment with different backgrounds, and then photographed them.

the objective

The task was simple, an artwork for a debut double album, in compact disc format. But knowing the project so well, I felt that had to me more.

I knew the lyrics deserved more attention, so I asked two illustrators to do one illustration per music/lyric. I wanted them printed on postcards, 20 detachable ones, with 18 illustrations (one for each song) by Margarida Pinto, Vítor Santos and 2 photos by me. These were put together on a A5 cardboard folder, printed with linoleum. The cd were also printed with the same technique. The print on the cd nr 1 is the negative print of the cd nr 2. They came with one cotton tote, also linoleum printed. Numbered limited edition, 99 pieces only.
