oh my god oh my god oh my godddddddddd            i am so excited for this but i dont wanna get my hopes up too much in case it falls through

Wow this is such a cool project! Why didn't I notice it earlier?

However, I'd really like to contribute in any way and if it's just filling out the questionnaire (btw do you still need more or is the questionnaire phase already done?).

So if I have any ideas I can just post them here or how does it work?

 

Yes! Just post your ideas and I'll add them to the first post. And I'm taking questionnaires pretty much any time but whenever we start designing the actual stuff it'll kind of be too late at that point. In general the answers have been pretty consistent though so I do think we have the direction we want it to go in figured out. But still feel free to contribute anything you want!

 

I did a mock up lyric sheet for Oh Say Can You See (although it looks painfully bland)

I designed it like it would be the centerfold. I was hoping this image would work because it was big enough, but it's like 75% white, so I don't really know.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think we should discuss font options. I don't really have many that are great looking, so if anyone knows any really cool lyric fonts or something.

 

EDIT:

Also I think we should discuss the format. Do we want to include pictures at all? Because personally I think trying to find an accompanying image for each song would be kind of difficult, and it might make for a hefty booklet.

 

Also this is my 666th post!

 

I think we can figure out something for the pictures. There's hopefully enough in high enough quality to make it work but we'll address it as it comes up.

 

Can we please make the booklet in the same style as BTD? I mean the fonts. 

 

Yes, I think this is a good idea to keep some unity among the albums. 

 

 

@ I'm really going to do my best with this and not leave you guys hanging. I'll be pretty crazy with my last bit of finals until Tuesday, but after that I'm going to shift my full attention to this project. At the most, the timeline might have to be stretched out but I want a copy of this thing as badly as everyone else and I think it'd be awful to get you guys excited and not deliver.

Some of my images from the suggested booklet in bigger sizes (still need help finding more from our more skilled sleuths here):

 

Bigger versions of pics (some still need larger sizes):

That's great! I already made a quick design for the back and for the CD. For me palm trees have always been like a symbol of the aka era so I used them here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: here's the back cover with jewel case dimensions:

 

 

 

 

And here's my questionnaire:

 

 

What image would you want for the back cover?

see above

 

What would you prefer for the CD packaging?

Digipack

Jewel Case

Slimcase

 

What would you prefer for the CD label?

Album Cover

Album name/tracklist (like for the CD singles)

Old style vinyl lookalike

Other (see above)

 

What would you prefer for the album booklet?

All lyrics – like BTD/P

Most lyrics with choruses only stated once – like some songs in the Electra Heart booklet

Some lyrical snippets – like UV

 

Anything else you think should be taken into consideration?

I think there should not be too many pics in the booklet. Otherwise it'll just have too many pages.

I really want one of these omg

I love the hibiscus flowers however I agree with Pin Up Cartoon Baby palm trees are just the symbol of that era for me 

and I really like the fan made one

Thanks @@microgrooove 

 

But I just noticed that I did not use the right dimensions for a jewel case (at least I think so. I'm not really familiar with making covers, booklets etc so I'm often not so sure about the dimensions). So here's the jewel case version:

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love...

 

But seriously this is why I wanted this to be a community project instead of just my flop self trying to make something first and show it to y'all later. I appreciate you guys' input so much. So many people have been so helpful with getting the tracks, providing suggestions, etc.   

[ilovetati 15,299]

Oh my god....that palm tree back cover. You guys are so talented.

 

Here's a bigger version from the original back cover that can be used to replace one of the booklet photos:

 

 

 

 

 

It could replace the Lana photos for Smarty or Jump since larger Coney Island pics can easily be found and I am quite fond of that Oh Say You Can See picture. I really hope that we can find a larger one. 

[wraith 7,277]

I am actually so excited for this. Will totally be up for buying a copy

How are you guys gonna sell them? Like through BigCartel or something like that??

[Anthem 1,558]

Awesome @@ilovetati! I am going to edit the OP with your  new picture links ASAP, but right now I really need to work on school stuff because I've been editing the OP and looking stuff up for this for the past hour

 

Pricing Update: 

I called around and looked online and I have some numbers up to give a very rough estimate of how much these will cost, so those of you who were concerned about that can see and start to get an idea of how much it might be. I even estimated on the higher side so its likely to come down. Shipping costs are very very rough as I didn't look into them much at all, but I'm friends with a girl at UPS so I might see if she can do anything for me. I'm still working on the digipak cost and front cover for the jewel cases (I have decided I am going to do both and you guys are welcome to get one of each). Hoping to have the rest of the costs up soon!

Found a larger version of another of the Coney Island pictures:

 

 

 

 

So, we have the two Nevada and two Coney Island. I will look for another Coney Island picture that is large enough to replace this one: http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/community/blogosphere/wp-content/uploads/Patrick/284138983_aac3ce490e_600.jpg

I have no idea     I have a month to figure it out I guess. Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated. Only preference is that they not go up on eBay because I don't want random people buying them or for them to get taken down. 

 

 

Also, is there any way to add a poll to this thread? I just need a simple "Are you interested in buying one?" with a "Yes - Jewel", "Yes - Digipak" and "No" (with the option to pick more than one if they want both) so that I can get a more solid count of how many I need to make, because this is going to be a pretty hefty initial investment for me to make and I don't want to end up with a huge amount of extras.
