No Static 12"

Bay Area's No Statik pulled together a nice looking release for their 12" on Prank Records... the cover illustration and layout was created by Moses Saarni, and i particularly like the approach he used on this cover art. it looks as though he painted out sections of his piece with correction fluid to create highlights, and then also went back in with black ink over top of the white.... it's definitely a finished piece, but it still has a really nice raw textural quality to it when you go in for a close look.

these cut and glued sleeves were offset printed on a matte paper stock. the back cover displays the song titles hand written out running down the center in a column. graphically speaking, there isn't a whole lot of visual trickery going on here, just some type and some dots really... but like the front cover, it retains just enough evidence of the human hand to keep it visually pleasing....

the insert is a 11.5" x 11.5" doubled sided sheet of 100lb cover stock. on the front side it's all about the abstract art, it actually kinda looks like it's making a subtle nod to the back cover of
"Damaged"?...

flip it over for the lyric sheet.... very clean, straight forward, and easy to read. also, very cool live photo courtesy of Martin Sorrondeguy, so that rules...

these A and B labels are ruling it! the A side has all the hand written out song titles, nice and bold white on black looks soooo good. this type has just the right amount of imperfection...

B side is more of those handmade dots from the cover and then the one song title for the B side (dude, 6 song A side + 1 song B side = amazing idea)...

nice work guys...
