Over at Typophile, the current “Type Battle” involves combining a randomly-chosen band name, a randomly-selected sequence of words as a title, and a random image as an album cover. The results are impressive; if you’re releasing an album sometime, you might consider recruiting a designer from the Typophile community.
My “graphic design” skills are not the greatest but here is my first attempt. Used OpenOffice.org Draw which is (so far) one of the most excruciatingly clumsy design apps I know.
Review blurb:
Neither the world music scene nor late-night-university-what-is-the-meaning-of-life-bull-sessions will ever be the same. With the release of their second album the Tunisian alternative punk band Mounastir Radio formally announces their devastating musical attack against existentialism a la Camus and Sartre. Yes the universe is absurd – but the truest best response to our existential plight is a warm slice of humor dipped in copious amounts of fun. The band alternates rapidly between the sexiness of French and the earthiness of Arabic even as they weave together North African sounds and rhythms with the latest punque electronique from Europe. Who would have thought paragraphs lifted whole out of the percussionist’s Sorbonne doctoral thesis could be so great for dancing? University radio stations around the world will surely seize upon “Four Cans of Diet Coke” as the ultimate protest against global capitalism’s rank contempt for humanity’s place within the natural world. Crank it while working on your next research paper.
