Hail, Publications.

For Publications, we had the option of doing layouts for a coffee table book or magazine. I decided to do a black metal band compilation coffee table book. Black metal is a more extreme form of metal music, relying on fast paced tempos, lo fi recording and shrieking vocals to create a nasty wall of sound. To boot, black metal hinges on satanic beliefs, making it a very popular genre with almost no one. I find it favorable, sans satan. Anywho, here be my creation.

This is (obviously) the cover. There is a cross die cut into the front to allow the second image to show through.

A close up of the spine.

Anddd, the second image. This shows a bit of the controversy following the genre. Oh, you silly Norwegians.

This is the overlay to the next picture. The numerals were tabs that you lifted to reveal each wave of bands.


This is an example of each wave division page. The roman numeral would be die cut to allow a cd sampler of each wave to be held behind it.
