it's a bold statement, i know this, but i am going to say it anyway: this is my favorite layout that i have seen in all of 2011. BOOM! B-lines from vancouver used the work of local collage artist Melanie Coles to put together a perfect looking record. every single panel of this layout could stand alone as its own xerox collage masterpiece, yet they are still able to come together and create a body of images that maintain a cohesive look. on the front cover, a really strong black and white photocopy collage that hits you with a nice pop of red. i love the way she mixes hand drawn elements in with the photographs...
these are offset printed and glued covers on a standard coated cover stock. flip the jacket over and you get that red pop from the front smacking you in the face! great use of texture and negative space on this panel, and that hand done lettering looks insane....
there is a 12 page lyric book included with this record. these are 5.5 x 8.5 black and white photocopied books. seriously, well fucking done. every page is spot on, not a thing i would want to see change. take a look at these pics, each page was photographed and posted up...
the A and B labels are very simple but also kinda nice. they established an order to the information and just let it be. it's a very respectable label....
