Re-issue Proposal
OUGD303 - Brief Two
Harmonie Park Records
Brief: Propose a series of re-issues for Harmonie Park, a record label based in Detroit.
1
Background: Harmonie Park is a label founded in 1994 by Rick Wade. He has consistently set the bar high for good quality House releases in a unique style. Whilst the label’s aesthetic style is visually consistent, it has perhaps not reached its full potential.
1
The proposed series of re-issues must take some graphic elements from existing releases, but must exploit many more artistic possibilities (photography, hand-lettering etc) in order to create a series of attractively consistent covers.

Lettering Art Development The label’s existing type work to a certain extent does not suit the artwork’s natural imagery and colour, so it seemed appropriate to create some lettering by hand that has more of a organic feel. After experimenting with numerous styles, it was the design shown above that was selected for implementation.

Deliverables The lettering art is applied to vinyl and CD covers, as well as promotional posters.
The colour scheme has been altered to represent more of a night-time feel (whilst still being somewhat natural), as to suit the context where the music would be played.
