Extended Play presents:
MASSIVE ATTACK - 100th WINDOW (Special Edition)
This is one custom album packaging of a 4-series piece entitled Extended Play, which is intended as a personal project by !nodoro™. It is a tribute to some of my favorite musicians/artists around the globe - a collection of new interpretations, perspectives and formats to their classic covers; hence the word “play". It is by all means an experimentation without boundaries to the concept. Music and Art are two things that complement each other enormously; they go hand-in-hand and in my opinion, are of absolute equal importance. Thus, I consider an album cover highly reflective of the record, or a critical introduction to it. It is the passage into the music.
Extended Play also serves as a way of sending out the idea to every graphic designer/musician to play a big part in coming out with the best interpretation of music through a rich visual experience using the best material, method and execution possible. Simple or unconventional. Pronounced or obscure. Independent or commercial.
As both crafts are related, the idea of co-existing in creativity makes perfect sense - we give importance to the music and to the musicians who provide them just as they provide the necessary inspiration and direction for us designers.
As a final thought, one could only hope that despite this digital age, every music fan will continue collecting physical records like owning an actual fine art piece in your hands and truly say "Print. Still. Matters."
Concept: Massive Attack is perhaps one of the most innovative/progressive musicians around without question. The idea for the album packaging is to decipher the random actual lyrics found on the cover and back and slip unto using the acrylic plastic case to see the main titles and track lists. It allows depth and interaction at the same time.

my personal project was eyes because I believe that is what makes us who we are are. they are the windows to our life, thoughts, memories, and most precious of all our soul.
Italy: Day One, Part One ~ Arrival and Trevi Fountain
This suite was huge. By far the biggest space we've ever stayed in. In addition to the large oval-shaped living room, we had two bathrooms, a long hall, a separate walk-in closet, and a large bedroom. It really was grand!
The entire trip can be seen in order in my Italy album.
A personal project on reaching 50 which looks at my relationship with my dad who died on the 14th December 1979, aged 51.
Two football cards sit next to my late fathers funeral card. As well as collecting football cards, I appeared to be collecting funeral cards as well. The backdrop is my dads Motherwell football club scarf.
Italy: Day Eight (Part 2) ~ Old Barga
On the far left edge of the property is this beautiful view of the Tuscan hills and the town of Old Barga. I love how the trees perfectly frame the scene.

This is a shoot conducted at Moles nightclub during there closed hours. They have just had a brand new refit and the walls were painted a rich teal colour which I thought would make a wonderful backdrop. I enhanced the red of her lips knowing that red and green are complementary colours so the expanse of green behind her would make the deep red of her lips (and the pale red of her cheeks to a certain extent) pop against the background colour.
I used a focal length of 18mm which exaggerates perspectives and made the slightly curved wall even more rounded. It almost seems as if the wall is pushing her towards the camera.
