Final Prints and Mockups

Today I printed, laminated and folded the 3 final vinyl sleeves and 3 vinyl stickers for each cover. I printed the vinyl onto 245gsm matte paper (thickest matte paper available in digital print) which I then laminated with a smooth satin texture relating to typical vinyl sleeve finishing. Laminating the covers also prevents the darker colours on the matte paper from scratching whilst also increasing durability.

Overall I am happy with how the final sleeves turned out as they look clean as well eye-catching with their experimental, funky designs relating to the 3 stages of the track Come Over by The Internet. The designs also provide a successful romantic, 70s feel relating to the vibe of the song which was researched in early stages of the project.

Below shows mockups and photographs of the final covers alongside the vinyl which I bought the order day to show the sleeves and stickers in physical in context.
