Design for the inner labels of release number seven of the label 'Keeping Vinyl Alive' on a 12", limited to 300 copies.

Previously unreleased tracks from the Jungle hay days (1994) by The Undergraduates ( an alias of The Invisible Man who released work on the infamous Good Looking Records label of LTJ Bukem in the nineties) & DjCrystl.

The design is based on the idea that loads of producers from those days had a strong design affiliation with graffiti culture. The graffiti culture itself, has from a design point of view, always had a strong desire to make their works as spatially engaging. You can see this clearly in large pieces which want to give you the idea that the typography is popping of the page.
I tried to encoperate these notions into my design, giving it an old school vibe, whilst not just emulating designs from back in then.
