fuel the fire
Fuel the fire. I focused on some of XTC’s most upbeat tracks to energize their current fan base and potential new listeners. The idea of energy translated to sparks, flames, and fire - energy sources themselves. intense, dynamic visuals that are inspired by the band’s early music.
The goal of this project was to create a music album re-release for an artist of choice using analog media. The album would release an artist’s past songs in a new collection of music that is rebranded, with new packaging and a new album name.
XTC is an English rock band formed in Swindon in 1972.
Feel the energy for yourself!
Give it a listen here!
process
I carved into candles and lit boxes of matches. A dripping wax effect was achieved with melting the wax with fire.
A pool of ‘wax’ was made with modeling material. Matches were also used for the album title. I used charcoal for the hand-written type for the track list on the back.
symbolism
I took photos of anything relating to flame, heat, caution, or warning. The result was a collection of symbols, alarms, and detectors that gave the ultimate warning for how ‘hot’ the tracks inside are. Text highlighted in red also brings attention to the heat levels of each song.
