This is a project I decided to do as a Christmas gift for my brother. My brother has recently become interested in producing his own music by using loops and sounds he finds online and re arranges them into a song. He uploads his songs to Soundcloud and I think it would be nice to create a framed record with a personalised sleeve.

To produce the sleeve I typed up every song my brother has created to fit an A4 sheet, and every other word was highlighter grey to add some textures for when I scan it in. I printed the A4 page off and used a scanner to help me create the image, as the light moves across the scanner I would move the A4 sheet whether it be side to side, up and down or follow the light. 

From here I chose  parts from each scans and started to build an image of text produced by many layers, I then used the hue and saturation tool on Photoshop on multiple layers to add colour and hopefully make the text look more distorted and glitched. 

I experimented with different colours within the text and decided that the multiple/ rainbow would be best since it looked like a glitched effect.

The reason I went text based was because I was inspired by the recent trend I've noticed in album covers where they are texted based and the text placement is often not in order and could have an odd arrangement. An example of this is Kayne West's Faded cover and Mura Masa Lovesick cover.
