Chimurenga Explosion

CD

4/2000

For this CD i was provided with a stack of pictures from The Zimbabwean National Archives. I picked out a few, tinted them, and used them as the cover and on some inside panels. It took a while for me to decide on a typeface for this CD and finally went with a nice bold sans-serif (Bitstream Humanist 531 i think), which worked well.

For the CD image, i took the color photo from the inside of the sleeve, and, through some channel manipulation, isolated out two images which were printed in blue and orange to approximate a 4-color picture in 2 colors.
