My initial plan for the vinyl stickers was to come up with an alternative version of the cover design with added type, however, I decided to utilise my research and do something different. I wanted to incorporate the research that I did into Cab Calloway and the Fliescher Brothers, and so I began to illustrate the Jazz hand signals in the style of KoKo the Clown, the character that portrays Calloway.
I was really happy with the outcomes, as I think that they add a type of comic relief to the existing vinyl cover design, and change up the tone to be less serious. I think that this is positive, as it is similar to how the Techno influences soften the seriousness of the Jazz - both musically and socially.
I was really pleased to have been able to implement my phenakistascope research, although the design does not work at the same frame rate as a real phenakistascope. If I had had the time, I would have liked to have developed the vinyl stickers in more detail so that they actually work successfully.
