SHAKEY GRAVES // PACKAGE DESIGN


2


SHAKEY GRAVES Shakey Graves is a lo-fi folk-blues artist, mostly known for his one man band approach. His music is raw, rhythmic and hauntingly dissonant yet soothing. I recreated the package design, merchandise, and posters for his album, “Roll the Bones,� based on the overall feel of the album and the story it tells.

LOGO DESIGN I created a handlettered logo to match the style of the music. The overall design is heavily influenced by the rough, rhythmic beat that Shakey Graves maintains throughout the album.



SHAKEY GRAVES // ALBUM MERCHANDISE

Unlucky Skin

Built to Roam

Life tasted sweet when I was the bad twin, devil himself sat waving me by

This lazy livin' yeah it sure tastes good Lets make a killin' down in Hollywood

All of my tattoos they were of no use no monetary values have I

And buy ourselves some nice fancy home in the hills Spend all our fancy ol' time spendin' ten dollar bills

ooh won’t be long till I belong Bird at my window tells me tomorrow, mean ol tornado carries me off Pulls me from bed and bashes my head in, buries me halfway across the globe ooh won’t be long till I belong without all of this unlucky skin Think of me often, loosen my coffin let all the bugs in my wooden home ooh wont be long till I belong without all of this unlucky skin

LYRIC INSERT

Watch out Cause here I come bored and lazy Here I come no dignity So long sad city of angels you ain’t been very good to me You take that blood right from my body Oh you take the bone out of my spine So long sunny California you aint no friend of mine

This is a folded booklet that includes the lyrics of the songs within the album.

So New York City yeah I'll see you soon Spend all my money on some elbow room Wander around like I got someplace fancy to go I'm the king of Brooklyn for all you know Watch out cause here I come Bored and lazy Yeah here I come just passin' through Oh follow me beyond the mountain Go howl the ol' big moon Yeah strip them clothes right off your body Dress your skin in sticks and stones Doesn't matter where were headed cause Some of us were built Some of us were built Some of us were built to roam

Georgia Moon

Business Lunch

Doing 85 going north on 81 Wont see my baby till the rising of the sun Tennessee keeps warnin' me if I booze it I might lose it But shine on Georgia moon Shine on

We're social mutts thus Nothing really suits us Roaming is a local curse (but hey it could be worse) Fuck getting by Go quit your job Lets get drunk in a parking lot

Yeah well its hard to see the road Through this rain and all the fog

I've seen North Dakota I've seen the west sea Now I travel by rail so they cant find me No use wonderin' where To rest your feet Spilt milk On borrowed mink my sweet

Well this appalachian driving has me tired as a dog But this mason full of moonshine, is gonna keep me mighty strong So shine on Georgia moon Shine on So loosen up the lid and open up the throttle You wanna see the light? Aint gonna find it in a bottle Cause when I'm sippin' on a jar The road aint quite so long So shine on Georgia moon Shine on

Come skin your knees with us Life's too short for business lunch

SHARK SENSES The Shark Sense Trail was created for Camp Sea Lab in Monterey, CA. Camp Sea Lab is a children’s summer camp that helps teach underpriviledged kids about the ocean, biology, and science. I worked with the camp director and fellow designer, Marco Veglia, to come up with the information, format, and illustrations of the Shark Sense Trail.


SHARK SENSE TRAIL How do sharks hear sound, migrate across the ocean, or find prey? Find out as we explore the science behind the largest fishes in the sea!


SHARK SENSES // ILLUSTRATION

TRAIL SIGNAGE The trail signs needed to be simple, and legible in low light settings, as they planned to hike the trail at dusk. As the kids hiked along the trail they would come upon each Shark Sense where the guide would teach about the sense and give a demonstration.


SIGHT Most sharks have no cones for seeing color, they use only rods which see only black, white and gray light in the water.


SHARK SENSES // ILLUSTRATION

TASTE

Not much is known about the taste ability of Sharks. We do know that certain sharks seem to prefer specific prey.


The lateral line is a group of nerves along the sharks body. This helps them feel and sense their surroundings.

LATERAL LINE


SHARK SENSES // ILLUSTRATION

Sharks possess a pair of nares, nostril-like holes that are located just under the leading edge of the snout.
