Computer Arts Projects goes on record

Computer Arts Projects, the monthly in-depth guide for digital creatives, gets to grips with the music industry in its September issue which comes packaged inside an attention-grabbing 12-inch record sleeve.

Offering graphic designers and creatives the skills, advice and guidance they need to work with music industry clients, the September issue delivers practical tips and expert insight on all design elements. From album sleeve and music video design, through to creating graphics for clubs, the issue also includes a comprehensive 8-page guide on how to follow and deliver on a music design brief.

Tucked away inside a shrink-wrapped record sleeve, the music industry issue of Computer Arts Projects features input from the biggest names in design. Ian Andersen of the legendary Designers Republic outfit discusses the company’s role in reinventing sleeve design in the 1980s and Massive Attack’s long-term art guru Tom Hingston talks exclusively about his design work for the influential band. The issue is rounded off in style with a retrospective look at 25 years of the king of music television, MTV.

The issue also includes a free CD featuring an interview with music-focused design group Red Design, extracts from a brilliant new book on design legend Peter Saville and a full music video from up and coming rock group King Furnace.
