HANGNAIL LP. ART AND DESIGN BY WILLIAM BOTTINI. PRINTED BY STATE CHAMPION RECORDS. 2018
Album art & design for Snakeskin's debut LP, Hangnail. Printing by State Champion Records. I designed the artwork as a super-low resolution typographic cover to echo the lo-fi screen printing. The graphic design takes the idea of off-register printing seen in early DIY punk album art and amplifies it so that the off-register type appears duplicated, as if you're seeing double from banging your head too hard at a show.
