the song title

only this will be visible in the exhibition
3. Dimensions should be 184mm x 184mm, with a 3mm
bleed all the way around. That’s 190mm x 190mm
in total. The bleed won’t be visible, so bear that
in mind

few minutes to upload, as the site will be busy
10. Last but certainly not least - if we email you
with the good news that you’ve made it into the show
please keep it a secret. It makes for a much better
project!
We ask for all your details when you submit
a design so that we can shout about all our designers
To me, this brief is an opportunity for complete creative freedom, and there is a vast amount of possibilities for this brief as you are able to submit more that one cover. My initial feeling is to be as experimental as possible and try to create more than one solid submission rather than limit myself to just one design/idea. I'm quite excited by this and i think this will motivate me to get stuck in and dig out my potential as a designer through this brief.
My aims:
To try and use my full potential as a designer and use the full potential of the brief to explore and create as many solid and well informed ideas as possible.
