Different options for the record booklet / liner notes

I also want to push myself in terms of producing the booklet for the compilation that is packaged together with the CD / record. I originally considered producing a standard CD-booklet type mini zine but I'm now thinking of different ways I could fold the booklet to make the booklet more visually interesting and innovative.

I have taken inspiration from this NoBrow booklet

also their highly successful series of 'Leporellos', large concertina books which advance a narrative as the reader progresses through the folds. It can also be pulled out to be transformed into a poster.

I also really like Chris Ware's innovative use of booklets and different folding techniques in his recent release, Building Stories. Chris Ware is a comic creator and graphic novelist, Building Stories is a coherent graphic novel packaged in a box containing many seperate comics and sheets of drawings which the reader must pick out a narrative from themselves.

History of the Art School: Research Beginnings

The aim of Unit X College Four i to produce a range of products suitable for inclusion within the MMU Originals online shop, using the history of the Art School as a starting point for product design and development. This will involve undertaking both visual and written research into the Art School, its students and surroundings.

Students and tutors at Manchester School of Art in 1905. Including LS Lowry and Adolphe Valette

Manchester Art School tutors in 1890.

At this early stage in the project I am thinking of thinking of focussing on the past and present students of the Art School and also what attracted myself personally to the Art School and how I could translate this into my practice and final product outcomes.
