up yer sleeve / song allocation and research

The song I have been given is Frankie Knuckles - Your Love.


This track is very upbeat, lively and falls under the umbrella of electronic/house from the 80's. It has a lot of interesting sounds and layers to the song. Frankie Knuckles played an important role in developing house music while it was in its infancy, and in 1997 he won a grammy for remixer of the year.

The vinyl design for this track is bold and in your face, with contrasting colours and strong typography.


The sleeve design is atmospheric and features an image of a skyline. This image is quite soft and inviting, representing the nature of the music and melodic, lively song. 

For my own design, the design mustn't show anything about what the song is called or the lyrics. This allows my design to be completely irrelevant to the song and explore a new range of techniques.
