Marketing the Struggling Musician
Well, here's my current communication design project: cd formatting, booklet, and cover art. "How and why?" you might ask...
You might have picked up on this by now, but Covenant has an abundance of talented new musicians. Our campus activity calendar is quickly filled with various artistic concerts to show off the local talent and help the students build publicity. Prominent bands form and the artists scrimp and save their college pocket-change in order to find a record deal somewhere.
Our admissions department has discovered the potential here and is using it to attract prospective students. For the past few years, Covenant has been sending out free cds of Third Lobby (one of our more established bands) in the mail to incoming freshmen and high school kids... giving current Covenant students the publicity they need as well as piquing the interest of new Covenant students. It's a great idea; so great that they're planning on recording a new cd... this one a compilation of well-known artists on campus.
And who's doing the artwork? ...yup. My design class is having the time of its life

It's cool that you get to do applied projects in your design class. I like the top pic best!
VERY cool. Very neat how everybody benefits! :) Miss you.
how are you girlie?
@amichelen - hangin in there... only 2 1/2 more weeks of classes, a week of finals, and then graduation/cleaning preparations! The projects and papers are snowballing, but the Lord's been giving me plenty of time and energy to devote to them. Had a lunch date with a fellow RA in my dorm today and was thankful for the encouragement of friends... I'm so blessed!
You? Any special Easter celebrations? What are your plans for the coming months?
