Intellectual flattery for fans Due to the context of the albums release (the lead singer was
renounced for heavy drug use) it explains the medicinal concept
of the album: rewarding to loyal fans as he bares all of himself
within the concept.
Individual CD Planning
Possible Fonts
Fitting for the rock n roll genre; the font in
itself is simple enough to convey the
simplicity of the music: straight three chord
rock, whilst the worn look emphasises the
aspects of excess. The font is similar to
those of the albums from The Strokes and
The Von Bondies which have been analysed
previously.

Bold and simple, genre specific and not

hiding behind any sort of image.

Slightly offset distances between

letters, connotations of disorder,
genre specific. Slightly worn
lining emphasises excess and
roughness: linking with genre.

Similar to the front at the top, but

more masculine and suitable to the
genre.
Rough Sketch
This sketch will be
accompanied with photos of
the band which, in
corresponding with our music
video, will be pictures of my
group and I. This may be the
same case with the front
cover.
 Leaflet
• Taking inspiration from the
rock-n-roll characteristic of
excess, my CD has taken
inspiration from RIZLA
packet for containing the
lyrics of the title song, which
will be pulled from the
packet much like a rolling
paper from the packet.
 Imagery

These are the images that will go alongside the leaflet

in the upper part of the inner CD.
