I've been obsessed with the idea of mix-tapes since reading 'High Fidelity' when I was a teenager. 'Love is a Mix Tape' by Rob Sheffield is still one of my favourite books. For us geeky music girls whose ideal man arranges his record collection 'autobiographically', a mix-tape is just about the most romantic gift. Having coerced my own vinyl-loving boyfriend into making me a Christmas mix-tape, I decided to return the favour. I guess the strong point of my own mix-tape may be its cover, although even that doesn't have the charm of my boyfriend's hand-made CD sleeve featuring a photo of a penguin chick taken from his 2011 calendar.
Here' the front cover:
Notice I finally utilised the snowflakes I made for the Morozko illustration.
The back cover will be up soon once I finish tweaking it a bit.
