My inner thoughts hidden in a sea of song lyrics, telling the story of a crazy night out

Think of one of the worst nights of your life.  

This is mine. Compiled by 11 songs, burnt on a CD, with the lyrics typed out in a book and packaged for consumption.  

Music is one of those things that just makes things feel better. During my lowest of lows, music is often the only thing that makes sense so I wanted to create a "soundtrack" of songs that tells a story. This one specifically tells the story of a night where I let my inner thoughts and insecurities get the best of me and ruin a fun night out. The lyrics are printed in pink, and are overlapping it are my thoughts as the night progresses, in blue. Each part can be fully revealed by putting the colored film that comes in the case directly over it.

I wanted to use this project to focus on utilizing type as a form of expression. Each song has a very unique shape that expresses the song's feeling, mood or rhythm. In order to get the bright colors that its printed in, I utilized RISO for the first time. It was quite a process as I had to experiment a lot with the ink and how the "revealing" mechanism worked with the colored film.
