You are gold

This is the music-related project I was talking about.

Over Christmas we had to design the packaging for a CD we were to make, with all the songs following some sort of theme. The examples they gave were songs about dogs, colours or countries.

I chose chemical elements and packaged the cd using a nice contrast of plain white card, and crinkly gold card. I'd spent some time drawing minerals and crystals at the museum and making paper forms but liked the random nature of crushed card. It seemed much more like naturally-formed crystals than anything I could make using a polyhedron net.

In case you can't see from the photos the tracklist was as follows:

lithium - nirvana

helium hearts - super furry animals

carbon monoxide - regina spektor

oxygen - willy mason

neon bible - arcade fire

the sulphur man - doves

titanium expose - sonic youth

my iron lung - radiohead

think zinc - t rex

silver - hundred reasons

iodine - leonard cohen

platinum blonde - blondie

gold - spandau ballet

mercury - bloc party

I finally go back to uni on Monday and can't wait to get back into my work!
