The Schmucks Record Sleeve







As I was looking through Heydays' website, I found this record sleeve for a band named The Schmucks. Although I don't think it's their best piece of work, I respect how they've used the most overused typeface in the world: Helvetica. It really looks the part on the record sleeve.

The type on the reverse side of the sleeve looks well structured, white text set of a dark background to allow for optimum readability.

I love how the pull-out publication has captions that are set on separate pages on the inside, to take nothing away from the images itself. It is a good way to get the best of both worlds: a full image and a full, articulate description.
