After conferring with the whole band Max got back to me with a reference and some examples of their music to listen to while I work. The reference image (seen on Instagram) was very useful to get an idea of the tone of voice they were aiming for. Max actually asked if they could use the image it's self. The dragon Lino cut is a part of a failed proposal during the christmas projection brief, so was available, I decided that I'd rather work on something fresh, telling the band that that it was unavailable but I could make adjustments to the design for use in the EP cover (right). Listening to the tracks whilst working was also advantageous.
Max agreed to go with the adjusted dragons head and followed up with many new conditions for the brief. He added many new specifications including; a five headed dragon and celtic knot involvement in the design. This gave me a lot to work with and what seemed a relatively simple brief turned into a bit of a dragoney nightmare.
