'House Style'

I was sent these as an idea of a 'house style':


I am sort of weary however that these are releases from the same band, but I guess there are elements I could take from this, for example, the style of illustration, the colours used, the placement of the text, things like this could be adapted to suit any release.

web mock up

This is a better web mock up of the site. I want to keep this layout throughout, 3 columns, one for text and two to fit in an image. I think this will transfer to most pages. When new material is added the old material / information can get moved down so it will be scrollable. Which I now think is much easier than creating a second news page, e.t.c.
This mock up has been sent for approval.

pin badge ideas:

Couple of ideas for pin badges using the logos/images I have been working on. As a promotional tool I guess the tape one gives the best idea of what the badge is for and gives text, making the label search able on the internet, however the owl one is cute, and as a freebie with the tapes this might be a nicer idea. I guess they both serve different purposes.

Type development

Been working on a matchstick font, to go with an idea I have had for packaging one of the cassettes:
development:

I am thinking about making some type with the cassette tape, or having a go, some insp for this and how it could potentially work all together.

Ha! apparently it does matter to some!

typo

I want to experiment with typography on this project, this is a great site for some inspiration for that.
I am sort of surprised though at how many of the fonts are pretty illegible:
I mean, I think this is beautiful to look at and a great idea (and maybe it is just me) but if you have to work hard to read it however aesthetically pleasing it is, is it successful?
Or can it just be great based upon it's style? Does it have to function?
