Even though Record Store Day 2009 is close to four months away, we’re more than pleased to take note of some of the early attendees to the dance. And last night came word of a pretty cool spin on what we here call the 12″ x 12″ canvas: Matador thinks that one savvy graphic designer has what it takes to redesign the cover to Belle and Sebastian’s new ‘BBC Sessions’–and they’re sponsoring the contest to make that happen in celebration of Record Store Day, 2009.
From the Matador Matablog: ” You’ve worked hard at it… Aping that monochromatic vibe for mixtapes…. Copped the twee girl clutching some Kafka on flyers for your weekly DJ night…. you work hard. You’re never lazy about it.
And now is not the time to let the laziness set in.
We are giving you the once in a lifetime chance to design the front cover image for a limited edition of The BBC Sessions that will be sold in stores nationwide. That’s right, an actual commercial edition of a Belle album (in nostalgic compact disc format) will feature your creative work if the band so deems it worthy.”
Full details on the contest can be found right here. And already there are oh, ten that are just perfect. The band chooses the winner too…
TVD wonders – is there a Photoshop twee filter?
