I was never happy with how this came out although the heavy vinyl sleeve version looks great. Something just doesn’t gel with the elements, same with the single ‘All You Can Give’ which is a shame because they are great records. I was working with, first, visuals given to me from the video – shot in a ballroom down in Blackheath. Secondly, more still photos shot by Carl Fox in the same location which were of obvious higher quality that the video stills.

As before with any Cinematic project I made loads of idea mock ups for sleeves and logos and some of these are interesting in hindsight for the way they try to illustrate the title. Talking of titles; it changed several times over the course of the design so I had to go back and redo stuff. It started as ‘Horizons’ then changed to ‘Burnout’, was briefly ‘Man With A Movie Camera’ and finally: ‘Every Day’.
