A Domestika online course by Steve Simpson

Projected I created for my online workshop for Domestika
Combine illustration and lettering to create unique designs that complement the music they accompany
Do you sometimes get frustrated by the endless choice of fonts that never quite complement your illustration? Would you like to create your own typographical elements that perfectly match your illustration style? In the days before digital, illustrators and designers were often the same person. Steve Simpson embodies this philosophy in his award-winning work, where he controls every aspect of creation and production for clients such as Cerveza Modelo, Jameson, and Disney, as well as his own personal projects.
In this course, using a traditional approach, you will learn how to combine illustration and hand-drawn letters into a single seamless design piece: an illustrated record sleeve and label for a 7" vinyl.

In this course, using a traditional approach, you will learn how to combine illustration and hand-drawn letters into a single seamless design piece: an illustrated record sleeve and label for a 7" vinyl.
Included in the brief for this project you'll be given a well-known psychedelic song title from the 60's to create a cover for. However, you're the band so your name will go on the cover. Steve will supply you with templates for the record sleeve and label.
Once you have completed your designs, you will print and glue them to the sleeve template and vinyl 7" record.
