Synaesthesia

What is synaesthesia?

Synaethesia is the production of a sense impression relating to one sense or part of the body by stimulation of another sense or part of the body.

For example, some people may see different colours or shapes when listening to music. Some famous musicians such as Kanye West say that they experience this and it helps them to visualise the music they make and helps them to create music videos.

Band Posters

In order to get our band well known I created some posters which advertise the band. The first poster shown below has three monkeys which represent the three band members. The Mediterranean Monkeys logo also appears in the bottom right hand corner of the poster, showing off out iconic band name. The colour scheme is mainly bright blues in this poster which symbolises peace and depth.

The second poster shown below has represents the monkeys as gods. This also connotes that the band members of the band are god-like and listening to their music will leave you feeling like you've came from heaven.

Inside Booklet

After creating the front and back covers we decided that the case was missing an inside booklet. Again, I used Adobe Fireworks to create an inside fold up cover which includes the lyrics and an inside image for both songs on the album. 

Website

We needed a way to keep in touch with our fans, letting them know when all of the upcoming tours, albums, singles etc are coming out. In order to keep everyone in touch I cretaed a website for the Mediterranean Monkeys. This official site keeps everyone in touch with the band and allows them to book tours, listen to their latest tracks and get exclusive interviews with the band.
