RT 25 years

Art direction, concept and design of the Rough Trade Box set, celebrating 25 years

Rough Trade Shops 25 Years is a compilation of singles that were championed by the rough trade shop. This compilation album has 4 cds, and 56 tracks. I took all the photographic elements inside the booklet from the shops interior, wall graffiti, and from sleeve liners and stickers in the shop. I created a template for which the rest of the rough trade albums stemmed from, using a grid of 16 squares on the cover. All the printed elements were printed on a rough unfinished paper stock, and the boxes were brown card covered with the same rough paper. This was amazing to work on, from start to finish.
