Unit 13 - Original Cassette Designs
In this blog post, I'm going to showcase some cassette tape sticker designs. Since I've decided to buy green tapes, I know I want to stick with a pink and green theme, I just need to decide on the right design. Another thought to keep in mind is that I want the tapes to have a homemade feel, so I've decided to draw them onto the stickers myself instead of printing. This means each of the designs may differ slightly so I must stay slightly simple in order to be capable of the creation. Here are three ideas I made online, one side is a very simple cat design and the other two are slightly more interesting.
I was also super lucky and whilst looking for cassette cover templates, I found a website that makes the cover, ready-to-print, for you if you just fill out what you need. This is the website and I was so grateful to come across it as I was really struggling with creating a design with no help. I originally created it darker online but once printed it came out a lighter pink which I then incorporated into my tape stickers. I ended up only printing the materials and recording onto five cassettes as I've decided not to sell them just yet and for now create them solely to give to family and myself as not many people listen to cassettes. I think next time, if I had the opportunity and time, I would try collaborating or at least asking advice from an artist as I found myself lacking the creativity needed to bring this product to the next level.
