I made a very limited edition number of DVDs of a studio recording of my ‘Head’ rescore synched to the original film and printed up sleeves on reflective card to mimic the original album’s packaging. Each DVD had one of seven different flyers from the Dublin performance inserted into the package as the promoter had gone to town and made a set of cigarette card-style flyers depicting scenes from the film and had a load left over after the night.

The graphics on the sleeve are largely taken from the original film promotional material but also include photos taken by people at some of the performances, more of which are included on a slide show as a DVD extra along with flyer art from the shows. A list of the ten performances with dates and locations is also inside as well as a teaser for the next DJ Food album… I especially like the DVD on body disc design for this as it is so simple but effective.
