New Size Information: Albums are 12.375 inches square - CDs are 4.75 inches square (Thanks Michelle) The iTunes cover art is 131 pixels square at 72 ppi.
This is a totally new project. You will determine if it will ever be assigned again in the future. So, start thinking about, planning and making some decisions for this new project. This should be something you will like. This is a cover art/concept illustration for your favorite band or music artist. Essentially, name your poison. Technique is wide open, you choose how to execute the illustration.
Parameters:
- The illustration will be used at three different sizes: Traditional LP Record, CD and iTunes cover art. Figure out the actual sizes. OK, here are the 100% for LP, 36% for CD and 15% for iTunes.
- The illustration is conceptual in nature based upon the album title: No illustrated images of band member/artist(s). Get creative. This does not have to be a contemporary group/artist. Any genre is an option.
- The artwork should function at all three sizes - 2 print and 1 digital applications
Presentation:
- All three will be printed and mounted individually on black foamcore - 1 inch border
- Blog everything: write something worth reading about the project... conceptual, process, success/failure...
Timeline:
- Novemeber 10: Initial marker comp of illustration
- November 29: Final art approval
- December 10: Final printouts and mounted for presentation
- December 15: Take down from hallway display
