I've re-read the brief a number of times, to see if I could make any connection between them (in terms of theme or title etc).
I have noticed that the brief also requires further clarification on a number of points.
I have assumed that we are required to produce 11 CD covers, but I don't think this is necessarily correct.
From looking at them, it seems that each title supplied is in fact a single track.
So, are 11 actually required or is it just one?
Who or what is Ian Anderson at Designers Republic ?
It requires creating identities for each of the "11 first titles in the series".
This implies that more maybe issued at some point, it would be useful to know exactly how many.
Also, the use of language...why "11 first titles" not first 11 titles ?
The artist list supplied starts with number 02 ?
Has 01 yet to be decided upon or is it already in existance ?
Why have 12 artists been supplied ?
If 01 exists already, do I need to only produce numbers from 02 to 11 (10 in total) or 02 to 12 (11 in total) ?
I've started by first looking at each artist, to find a little more about each of them.
(Personal histories etc.)
Then, looked at existing covers for these artists and made copies of them for future reference.
Also, need to visit library to source sound recordings.
