New CD Artwork: Hot Topic – Gameshow

Posted on Aug 15, 2009 in CD Artwork Design, Featured Work, Portfolio

As part of our continued work with Hot Topic we were asked to design the cover for the debut EP by Hot Topic titled “Gameshow”.  We recently finished recording, producing, mixing and mastering it and so this was the next logical step.  We took the gameshow title and made a very recognizable game show front cover so that the name and image instantly click in your head.

Inside we decided to make it look as if it was the bedroom of someone watching said Gameshow on TV and at that specific point the band were all pulling faces.  This was done in the photoshoot that we did a week or so prior to this design (which can be seen on this site too).   Lighting was added as to it all to give the idea of a window glaring back off the TV.

The CD itself was then a full wheel view of the custom Wheel of Fortune inspired wheel with the Hot Topic logo on it.

The guys in the band really enjoyed the artwork and we are excited to see it all printed and done up in the flesh.
