Another favorite challenge: fanmix/CD covers! In the past I have done a few of these for fandom projects with music chosen by authors I collaborated with. This time I went through my own archives of (old) mixtapes/CDs after picking my objects of affection.
I wanted the designs to feel like real 'old fashioned' album covers.
I started with a scene from The Losers that to me looked just like one of those photos of an indie band gazing gloomily into the distance. I chose moody music for the guys (that in my mind could fit their relationship in the film as well as be a disgruntled lovers kind of mood;).
I also really wanted to do something with that amazing red photoshoot with SMG and Co (that I had used for a sigtag in an earlier challenge). I zoomed in on Buffy and Willow, debated calling it the witch/slayer mix but then realized their last names sounded perfect as a duo. I put together songs with a ladies' theme for those two.
When I came across the fabulous photos of Jeff Goldblum, I knew just the funky songs that fit him, and that turned into a very eclectic set.

Below you'll find all three full sized cover designs (+backcover with songlists) as well as links to all the fanmixes on YouTube (I was thrilled to find all the songs, especially since some are rather obscure, I LOVE THE INTERNET.:)
( Full sized Front and Back Covers, Fonts & Fanmix )
Would love to know what you think of these!
