Final Project (Computer Graphic) - Band Merchandise

For our final project, we have to create a merchandise for a made up indie band. The mandatory merchandise we have to design is a CD sleeve, PC and phone wallpaper, tote bag and t-shirt. The extra things we could create for points are pins, a lyric booklet, flyers and everything else possible a band would distribute to their fans. I chose to make band merchandise for a band called "Wired Milk". In a nutshell, my band is basically 4 Indonesian guys who formed a electronic-pop-indie band while they were studying in Canada. They will be releasing their debut album in 2014. The band consists of Baskoro (vocals and keyboard), Nandie (guitar), Kago (Synthesizer), and Bana (Synth bass). You may read more about the band here. Once I came up with the story, I created the mood board! This is what I came up with:

"Legolize"

I made only one mood board because I feel certain with the concept I have come up with. What I'm planning to do is make the images in black and white and make it have a vintage texture. As for the colors, I chose white, blue, yellow and red. What makes it slightly different than Indomaret is that I made the colors in a slightly different shade. The colors I have chosen are based on two of Passion Pit's albums. As for the font, I chose to use Futura medium.

Mind map

Basically, for the whole concept, I chose my color scheme and basic design from Passion Pit's albums. I want to imply the bright colors and geometric shapes the album displays. As for the images, I chose to give a vintage vibe. By applying the that concept, I feel like it will fit the music "my band" created, which is a fun, indie, electric genre. As for the members, I chose to use the members of a local band, Dried Cassava. Although their genre of music isn't actually electric, I feel like they capture the story I have created.
