If you haven’t heard of this then you’re missing out! I saw this last year but it was too late to submit so am taking full advantage this year and hope to submit a few designs.
Secret 7” is an annual event where 7 tracks are chosen and each one is pressed onto 100 vinyls. Creatives are then invited to create artwork for the tracks resulting in 700 one of a kind sleeves. The creatives are made up of well known artists and designers through to those just starting out who submit on the Secret 7 website. The 700 sleeves are exhibited and then sold for £45 each, with all proceeds going to War Child, but you don’t know which track you have or who designed the sleeve until you have paid and get an authentication slip.
Not only is it a really great creative challenge but it’s a really exciting opportunity if your artwork is chosen to exhibit amongst some famous faces. It’s all for a good cause and you could end up with an original, one of kind by someone famous!
The tracks this year are :
Black Sabbath - Age of Reason
Elbow - Grounds for divorce
Jake Bugg - Strange Creatures
Lorde - Team
Massive Attack - Karmacoma
Roxy Music - Virginia Plains
T.Rex - Get it on
The deadline is the 17th February, so get going! and there are more details here : http://secret-7.com
