Fun Machine are known for their chaotic and joyous ‘sex pop’. Whenever they play, they leave a trail of glitter, sequins, sweat and smiling punters in their wake.
As an independent band, most of Fun Machine’s CDs would be sold at the merch table. They needed to be irresistible to pick up. I used a gorgeous raw card stock and combined it with metallic gold text and ‘sequins’, to give a delicious tactile experience. The sensuous closeup photos of the band’s painted bodies are by one of Australia’s top photographers Martin Ollman.
As you can see below, the gold sequins idea didn’t come to me out of nowhere.
“The main hope in any artistic work is that it reflect what you're trying to do. The Fun Machine album wasn't an easy brief and the end work not only looks perfect, but completely matches the spirit of what we were trying to do.
As with any design project, there were instructions and amendments and at all times we were completely comfortable that the project was in safe hands. I would recommend Yellow Pony to any artist.”
