Vinyl Research

Due to the fact my artist releases their material on a variety of different mediums including cassette, CD, digital and vinyl, I feel I should research into potentially creating a vinyl addition to the products I will be releasing for the EP I am designing.

A attraction of vinyl is the difference in sound, the artwork and the added pull-outs. A great example of this can be seen with the Californication album which features a pull out image from the 1999 tour and a lyric page.

Another example of a successful vinyl product is the album Great Western Valkyrie, which features multiple sleeves within the main sleeve, featuring images of the band, as well as a  pullout image of the band. The front and back of the vinyl are also powerful in their design and have a vintage look with handwritten graphics and lots of use of texture.
