About
Secret 7" is an annual charity initiative that invites 700 creatives to design unique vinyl sleeves for seven tracks by legendary musicians, with all proceeds supporting War Child UK. To keep the project entirely impartial, all submissions are anonymous. Buyers purchase artwork without knowing the artist or song, discovering the match only after the auction closes.
My concept
My contribution features designs for John Lennon’s song "Out the Blue". Inspired by the lyrics about finding true love unexpectedly, the concept explores the connection between two people, isolating and spotlighting the individual who brings "life’s energy" into focus.
To bridge the song’s '70s origins with a surreal, modern space, I created analog collages and paired original 1970s photographs sourced from charity shops with contemporary blue gradients, geometric shapes and magazine textures.
