Secret 7
Secret 7” takes 7 tracks from 7 of the best-known musicians around and presses each one 100 times to 7” vinyl. We then invite creatives from around the world to interpret the tracks in their own style for every 7”. 700 unique sleeves are exhibited before going on sale on a first come, first served basis priced at £50 each. You don’t know who created the sleeve, or even which song it’s for, until you have parted with your cash - the secret lies within.
Since 2012 we have produced 3,500 one-of-a-kind records for 35 different tracks. We’ve sold every single one and raised over £175,000 for great causes.
The Task:
Create a new album cover for the 2018 tracks listed on the website. Do no use the track artist or track name on or in the design.
Interpretation:
In level 4 I was successful enough to get into secret 7 with my Jack Garrett artwork, however I found out at a later date that my work didn’t sell at the exhibition which was a bit disappointing but it did sell on the secret 7 eBay account for the standing price of £50 which went to charity. I personally felt the reason it didn’t sell at the exhibition was that it wasn’t quirky enough and didn’t really have any personality to the artwork itself. This year I have found myself as a designer and I really want to push my style as far as possible and will be re-entering again this year.
This year, I really want to focus on my passion which is 3d design, as I believe they grab people’s attention a lot more and they look a lot more fascinating than a flat design. I personally feel that 3d design is something which the future is getting closer to however with the equipment and resources we have in today society it has huge impact on 3d designers, as it’s can be quite a struggle to render images out on a basic laptop which means I could be rendering a photo for eight hour and the image might not be the result I was looking for.
I will be doing the same again as level 4 and just focusing on just one artist and one design, As I will make sure that every little detail is correct and that i’ve submitted another really strong entry to the competition.
Looking at the list of songs, I chose to pick the most current artist again as I feel like it has more of a chance to be recognised on a more global scale instead of someone who isn’t really producing music anymore in our era. it was really clear that London Grammar was the most current artist so I felt it was the most suitable option to pick. However, I know this comes with a downside of being the most popular option but I feel that my type of design work is quite a niche for this competition and will stand out from the rest.
I will be setting myself a two-week limit with this brief as my renders will take quite a long time to render in Cinema 4D.
