OBN IIIs ep...

Austin's OBN III's recently released their 1st Lp, which made me think "now would be a great time to show you how rad their 1st ep looked"....

i love the simplicity and attitude of this cover art.... just a nice, cool illustration of some broken glass, what could be more punk than that!?! the jumbled type used for the band name is bold and rather pedestrian, but i think it kind of adds to the humor of the cover art. it's just great...


these sleeves were full color offset printed on a white uncoated stock, folded and glued. the back cover is a very structured, very common layout we've probably all seen before. that said, i feel they did an excellent job handling all the spacial and typographical balances within this panel. i love the mix of bold / condensed fonts and all the playful use of size scale to create order....


no insert, so here is a shot of the A side label. certainly passes for a good looking label, but it could have used a little more interest...
