Sound of Vinyl Publication Guide
Client: Personal Project | Project Role: Illustration & Publication Print
Project Description
The digital age of streaming platforms such as Spotify has become the preferred way of listening to your favourite songs however, over the years vinyl records have found their way back to mainstream audiences. The objective of this brief was to design an innovative, informative, and engaging Tourist Guide through the use of imagery and typography. To develop a guide that explores parts of Melbourne that have unique personalities.
Project Solution
‘Sound of Vinyl’ aims to showcase the various vinyl record stores in Melbourne in hopes of drawing in new audiences to the niche hobby of vinyl record collecting. To execute a visually engaging publication, characteristics of each vinyl record store were translated through illustrated drawings to add a pop of personality and to differentiate each store from one another.
​
The grain and dust textured artwork interpret a distressed and vintage sense of a worn-out 80s record cover with a modern twist. Red was used throughout the publication to give sense of urgency and to convey the energic feeling you get when listening to your favourite album.
