Blue Roses - Professional Context Group Project


The detailed journey of this project can be found on my Blue Roses blog.

This was a group project where we had to design an album for singer/songwriter Laura Groves aka Blue Roses. After researching and listening to her music we decided upon the theme 'Found, Kept & Cherished'.



Our album was based on a book. It had a dust jacket, a ribbon bookmark, pages with text and images, etc and we believed that a book is something that is to be kept and cherished.


For our imagery, we created a scene that comprised of personal belongings such as a diary, key, locket, etc and covered it all in (homemade!) dust. These objects had once belonged to someone and were precious to them and had since been forgotten about (for one reason or another). There is a clean-spot in the main image where something was missing and this the actual CD album itself. The album had come from this forgotten place and had now been 'found'.

Hidden within the CD packaging we had 3 'postcards' that were close-up snippets from our main image. These slightly differed because each image had something missing illustrated with a clean-spot.
