Description

The purpose was to promote mostly unsigned bands and illustrators as well as raise money for the Boston AIDS Action Committee. Our strategy was to design postcards illustrating each song, packaged in a custom-designed “portfolio” using line-art images of the sun and moon. I value the project because, as the client as well as the designer, I had complete artistic control.
