Sketchie - The Writer’s Line Benefit
Sleeve design for the Sketchie album “The Writer’s Line Benefit” on Lumenessense Records.
The basic concept behind this album cover design was that it should resemble the diary of a American Civil War soldier. When I initally came up with the design direction for Sketchie’s releases the idea was that they would all fit into an overlying theme of 20th Century American with it’s left-over colonialism, frontier towns and change brought about by Civil War.
For this particular release all i was given by the recording artist was the album name, which by his own admission is meaningless, so playing on the idea of ‘Writer’s Line’ I came up with the idea of making this a simple gatefold CD cover that looked like a book or diary, only upon adding the blood stains and dirt marks did this truely come to life and fit perfectly into the over-all theme.
