Worshit Ep...

here's an interesting submission i received in the mail from a band called WORSHIT from moscow, they pulled off a pretty nice looking record. they credit Ivan Arkhipov for the cover art, while i'm not crazy about the actual art content i really like style and confidence he had in executing it. it's pretty hard to tell how much of this was put together digitally, but it appears to be at least a little bit "mixed media" containing graphite and acrylic....

the cover art wraps around to the back panel to finish the scene out (forgot to take a full shot of the spread, sorry). i like the scratchy type they made for the song titles, and it works in their favor that they were able to run them on the inside the solid grey background element. it's nice how much movement is created within the artwork by having it rendered in a "wide angle" perspective....

These covers were professionally offset printed on a nice and heavy uncoated matte paper. Unfold the covers to reveal the printed lyric sheet inside. They kept the typography constant to the song titles on the back cover and wrote out all the lyrics with a graphite pencil. This is a great lyric sheet in my book because it offers a lot of personal character with the hand writing without becoming too messy or impossible to read.....

The A side label shows off a live shot. Not y favorite label, but also not offensive to look at...


B side label is better, but still not great....

Thanks for the submission guys, keep up the good work!
