Pretty interesting interview/discussion with Kasra and Ricky Trickartt with regards to the visual identity of Kasra's label, how they go about determining the final aesthetics of the label/products. I'm aware different people have different feelings on the subject, I vaguely remember reading something said by Peter Saville, I think he said something along the artwork not really mattering too much as long as something's there!!?? I don't know. But I do know people also think the opposite.
It's good that Ricky, the designer is able to sum up the artwork in one word, it kind of gives the whole body of work a rationale of sorts. I think maybe this is the key to creating a consistent visual aesthetic, even though myself personally I'm not really bothered about consistency at this point in time.
I suppose the main thing, again mentioned by Ricky is that they strayed away from the whole dark sci-fi style that seems to dominate a lot of drum n bass cover artwork, I think the aesthetics of the genre as a whole have had a lot to do with my overall (lowered) impressions of it and I imagine the same will apply to a lot of people....
