cd design & packaging ∞ b.sights ∞ untold references

Sometimes you work on something just for the sake of it. For the sake of designing something you love. I used to design bootlegs, for instance, live concerts, studio sessions and stuff. I would spend hours, days at the computer designing my freshly purchased (yes, purchased *sigh* ) bootlegs or traded CD-Rs. Never liked the artwork they came with so I did my own.
Then, I started creating front covers of various popular music mags for my fave artists. I made a whole book about a band (almost 200 pages strong), I created a Whiskey bottle to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Bon Scott's death in London in early 1980 (we even went there to see where Scott died so tragicly and unexpectedly). I did all these things cos I thought (and still think) something like that needs to be out there. One day it will.

So here's a selection of those works. Enjoy.

Bob Seger the unreleased story
layouts for various UK and German music magazines

Seger came out with an new album last year (get a listen), finally. But before that, there had only been speculation and rumors. In those days I would sit and wonder asking myself if Seger would EVER come out with something new again. I decided to create a new Seger album on my own. And the accompanying stories to it in Europe's leading rock magazines.

Bon Scott Annual Report 1979
A tribute to the former frontman of AC/DC

An annual report of the Bon Scott Corp. for the year of '79, the year AC/DC turned into the most successful Australian act ever with the release of their Highway To Hell album. Scott was known to be the party guy so a Whiskey bottle of finest Scottish blend would suit him quite well.
