Vinyl designs research

Hi guys, so Me and Connor have been thinking that although we want to create a vinyl, we need to focus on the design, however, the designs are endless. We recently just researched a few design ideas that we may want to create...

Our two favourites were the simple sleeve pocket and a album that opened up.

1) Me and Connor really liked the simplicity of the sleeve pocket idea. We would still use our initial cut out idea we had, where the foreigner icons on our album cover would be cut out and buyers would be able to see the record. We then thought about adding a information booklet at the back of the record, which would include information on the songs, and other information on the band.



 2) Additionally, Me and Connor like The Beatles album and how it opened up and presented two pockets, both with information packages and vinyl's. We really liked this idea as it was different to any other album we had seen. We also liked the extra details such as the images. However, we feel that this idea would be difficult to achieve, as our band is just starting out, and so hasn't got much of a history to present on the album.


Me and Connor have decided to go with option 1, as it will be much easier to achieve due to our band just starting up. Option 2 requires a band history, which we simply don't have.
Additionally, Me and Connor found a website that enables users to download templates, this helps us a lot when trying to size our album, as it gives us the correct measurements.
