dannyg9 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 CD package for Vessel Of Light Band. I did work on their last package but this is the first package for them that I've done, cover-to-cover. Not sure how many of you have every worked with musicians (I have for over 35 years) but there can be some egos involved. The job of the designer becomes that of Designer/Teacher/Referee/Dictionary. As a designer we may not always agree to certain requests, but ultimately it is the band's product and it's how they wanted to be represented. It's also a vision they have in THEIR head. Some requests work. Some don't and that's where we have to call on our knowledge base to explain to the client why something won't ultimately work. In regards to musicians, there can often times be as many opinions as there are band members, all conflicting. I usually let that situation be hashed out amongst themselves and in most cases, seniority or the lead person(s) win out. Its true with other types of clients but the above scenario seems especially so with musicians. Personally, I love the challenge of finding the solution that both answers their requests and resolves their differences. This design was also adapted to Cassette (Remember those? Hah! You're showing your age!), and LP. MEB and Patrick Connor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyg9 Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Yeah. Lyrically they’re pretty intense. Musically they definitely have that earlier Black Sabbath vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
