Coverart sixty: The Tapes

This one is again for myvs002

I'm not handing it in yet but I place it here already. It took me fairly long to make it. It's not really my style, since I prefer simplicty, but I know you want to see some technique so I did. First I wanted to do something with a picture with already a lot of red in it, but I decided not to do so. I made a kind of part 2 on the Guestbook. With the same kind of style.

(At that moment that I was writing the excerpt I realised I made a mistake and I could start over. Great.)

I still tried to keep it simple and this is what I came up with.

Well, here is the result.

Like I said, there is some work in this. It looks kinda simple (like I wanted), but it defenitly was some work. The reason why I chose to do it like this, was that I like the combination of red and white. It looks cool. 

So I started with this.

Since I needed the color red and not this way to happy cassettes, I needed to do some painting.

And I did.

This was kind of the result I wanted, but I knew it was a bit too light, but I also knew that I could change that later in the process.

Next thing I wanted and needed was blood (and I added the title with it as well.)

First, I didn't know what exactly what I wanted, but quickly I realised I wanted it to zigzag. So I designed it that way. And I knew that I wanted it subtitle zigzagged as well.

That's what I did next.

I added the author, but I found it too empty on top of the cover, so I decided I would make it a trilogy. At least then there would be some kind of text.

Lastly, I got annoyed by the little lines  next to "the" so I had to make sure those dissapeared as well. So I painted a bit and that's it.

Of course, there is a story behind this and there is a reason why I chose a handwriting for fonts. The blood is for the victims. It had to look like someone wrote on it. I think it looks okay. 

Excerpt:

This is a story about Rachel. She is a nobody. No one sees her. No one hears her. She is just a wallflower. Always on the background, living a quiet live. Years and years she lives like this, until she decides to change it. Everyone who once did her wrong, everyone who forgot her, will never forget her name. She will get her revenge.

She sends tapes to her victims, if they don't respond to her they will take actions. She makes them listen, she makes them see her. No one will ever forget her name. Do you hear me now?
