Note: I have published this post a good while after it was initially written. Now that I know that my design was not used I can make the post viewable.
Secret 7 is an annual competition that involves illustrating 11" single sleeves.
The concept involves total anonymity, the sleeves do not bear the name of the track, or the artists.
Having listened to the diverse tracks involved I chose to illustrate 'Digital Witness' by St. Vincent. I feel as though this will be a popular choice due to current nature of the artist. I deliberately chose her song as I was already familiar with the others.
My initial idea involves portraying the artist 'St.Vincent' encased in a cyber-punk helmet.
As the single cover is obviously square, the imagery will focus on this helmet and the face therein.
I find that this claustrophobic headwear communicates the all-encompassing environment of the digital world.
