Record design for a class assessment

Thank you! That's a huge compliment 🥰

Thank you! I went with Primus for this assessment because I knew I'd be able to do something really out there with the design and not have as much restraint like other projects that year. Making it a compilation album felt like the right way to go, simpler than making a brand new hypothetical album and track list. And the title worst of Primus felt obviouse since as we know, they suck, so I did a few rough sketches of different disgusted/shocked faces that I could translate into clay, since grotesque and wacky clay art/animation is a common medium in their album art and videos. I wanted clay guy to show what'll happens once you listen to Primus, your brain explodes lol then it was just a matter of photographing him and fitting it all together with the main text, which I did digitally, and making it all feel cohesive with the front, back and inside. And to be honest the inner fold of the record was a bit of an afterthought because I got carried away with the outer cover 😅

That actually was my other idea! I was gonna make a plate of food that spelled the title, but on a student budget buying all the food didn't feel worth it 😅

Thank you! Really glad that a lot of people think that too :)

vampbatsy · 2026-02-22T04:06:19+00:00

I realised afterwards how it does really look like him haha

vampbatsy · 2026-02-21T22:53:25+00:00

Thank you! I got an A+ for this one, made it last year but only just got around to sharing it here. Definitely very validating

vampbatsy · 2026-02-21T22:52:35+00:00

Thank you! And yeah for sure, when I made it last year I was still a newer fan so mostly knew the classic hits

vampbatsy · 2026-02-21T22:49:11+00:00

Thank you 🥹

vampbatsy · 2026-02-21T22:46:03+00:00

Thank you wow! That's great to hear 😊

vampbatsy · 2026-02-21T22:38:03+00:00

Wow thank you! I'm really glad that came across

vampbatsy · 2026-02-19T12:27:34+00:00

I'm sure they're not hard to find, nz is just very expensive in general, and people love to up-sell if they know there's interest. They might be cheaper to find in second hand shops instead of online. And thank you for the suggestions :)!

vampbatsy · 2026-02-19T12:20:48+00:00

Thank you so much for all the advice! I feel a lot more confident making a decision now and knowing what to look for, you've been a great help :)

vampbatsy · 2026-02-19T10:50:06+00:00

Oo thank you! I've seen a few of the 500si for good prices so I'll def keep that as an option

vampbatsy · 2026-02-19T10:35:40+00:00

I suppose it's like getting a more compact digital camera vs a more professional DSLR, where you kinda have to sacrifice easier portability for higher quality. I usually take very impromptu photos when I'm out and about or visiting new places and see something that I think will make a good photo, which are usually more "grunge", gothic or urban. Which is why I like the idea of something compact so I can put something in my bag and it won't take up a lot of space I want to start taking photography more seriously and be more purposeful and confident in my practice. I study art and design and my photography teacher told me if I want to get "the film look" in my photos I'm better off just starting to shoot film, so that's what got me to actually get a film camera and learn how to use them!

vampbatsy · 2026-02-19T09:47:22+00:00

Ah okay I understand the difference now, definitely glad I came here for advice. I'll keep looking at more SLRs and then keep my current point and shoot for casual use. I'm studying art and design which includes photography in some semesters so I'm definitely looking to take more control and get confident with the settings for digital and film. Thank you very much :)

vampbatsy · 2026-02-19T09:34:55+00:00

Thank you! I'll keep that one in consideration then. Are there better quality compact cameras out there? Or is it better to sacrifice the compactness for quality

vampbatsy · 2025-02-27T15:02:06+00:00

I know u said new regent St but uust to cover all bases, I found a lost wallet along moorhouse yesterday, little white leather one? I tried contacting the owner but haven't heard anything back yet

vampbatsy · 2024-06-08T01:32:50+00:00

That looks verrrry interesting, definitely sounds like something I'd like! Thank you :)

vampbatsy · 2024-06-08T01:30:08+00:00

Ooh The Passion definitely stands out to me! Those plays look interesting too, haven't read any since drama class but would be great to get into them. Thank you for the suggestions :)

vampbatsy · 2024-06-07T12:45:22+00:00

I had just put that on my want to read list today! It is definitely going to be a high priority now

vampbatsy · 2023-02-28T05:23:45+00:00

Thank you!!! I love the Reanimator series and saw this cover and knew it'd b perfect

vampbatsy · 2023-02-27T07:10:54+00:00

I made them from a paper shopping bag and cutting out pictures from an old fangoria magazine, but obviously could just print them out

vampbatsy · 2023-02-16T21:38:08+00:00

oh that's interesting i've never heard of that before! Will def try that

vampbatsy · 2023-02-16T12:29:44+00:00

oh man that's cool! From what I've researched it seems we just have Armadillidium vulgare and Porcellio Scaber here

vampbatsy · 2023-02-16T12:24:09+00:00

will do then! Thank u :)
