After that I had to decide how I wanted to present it on the front of the sleeve. I had recently seen some work by a poet called Tyler knott Gregson who produces a typewriter series of poetry.
I then wanted to play around with the idea of hiding in plain sight so I put the actual lyrics on the sleeve and covered them with a think line so that the text was obscured just enough for it to not be glaringly obvious what it was. The black and white was too bland so I added a background image in that I think complimented the lyrics nicely and works well with the messages in the song.
My next ideas were more conceptual. I recently went to see The Danish Girl and some of the messages in the film reminded me of messages from the song. Particularly Garratt says the song is about letting someone go because you love them so much and I feel that is a huge part of the story in the Danish Girl. When I went to see it I got a really lovely old fashioned cinema ticket so I thought it would be interesting and quite abstract to have that on the cover.
My other idea was about the idea of worry
and asking someone to share their worries. This reminded me of the phrase
“penny for your thoughts” I had originally though about just photographing
pennies but then I wanted to do something a little more interesting I ended up
with an etching of a penny on a post it note, even though it is kind of random
I really loved the texture and thought it was a lot more interesting to look
at.
For my final idea I wanted to make
a series of images that I could use for all 7 sleeves
