I’m working on the greatest hits releases for band The Feelers. They’re the no.1 Kiwi band and the release is about the last 10 years.

Here is the design for first single Beautiful Feeling. When the album comes out I’ll go into a bit more detail behind the concepts and themes. The single is a promo book printed on recycled stock and you can also download the song from i-tunes. The patch and type was sewn and photographed… oooh.

I’ve been lucky enough to have my my Hard-Fi sleeve to be selected for an exhibition of record sleeves by Unviverity of Arts alumni - which doing time at St Martins meant I was eligible for. I went to the private view and was glad to see the band and other bands there too.

I was even fortunate enough to meet an old family friend called Noel Hawkins who, I had no idea as a kid, is a designer himself and designed a great sleeve for Dub Vendor which sat right next to mine! It was strange seeing my design next to so many great sleeves.

The Spiel:

“GQ Editor Dylan Jones, The Horrors’ Faris Rotter and designer Peter Saville were the judges and have selected some of the most iconic cover art of the last four decades to appear in Spin. A unique examination of the art of the record cover, Spin will open up an often forgotten side of the music industry, to explore the fascinating relationship between art, design and music.

They chose an eclectic array of albums stretching across musical genres and through four decades, all designed or featuring artwork by alumni of University of the Arts London.

Other album covers in the show include the following musicians; Cream, Robert Plant, Uriah Heep, Madness, Adam & the Ants, The Clash, James, Chemical Brothers, Lemon Jelly, The Gossip, Beth Orton and Adele.
