In my intermediate typography course at the California Art Institute Sacramento, students tackle CD packaging design – with a slight twist. Inspired by Project Runway,<\/a> I like to put limitations on the work to force the student to engage the project where inventiveness will lead to unusual results.<\/p>\n

If I could get them to do everything in 24 hours, with Tim Gunn checking in, I’d try that too.<\/p>\n

\nIn this case, students have to work with a band (or recording artist) that they do not know anything about or (preferably) simply do not like.<\/em> The more they delve into a genre foreign to them, the more interesting the results have been.<\/p>\n

Pictured is student Isla Waite’s interpretation of the Megadeth album Endgame.<\/a><\/em> Her decision to reimagine the lyrics into typographic layouts (inspired by the lyrics’ subject matter) led to a unique interpretation of the traditional stylings of Heavy Metal.<\/p>\n
