Insert booklet for the 3-track CD release of Children of Chornobyl by Gone Troppo – a three panel fold out, with an additional inlay for the back of the jewel case. My intention with the artwork was to illustrate the decay, destruction and confusion at the plant, and also some of the fear, hopelessness and despair of the people who were affected and quickly excluded from their homes. A timeline of key events runs across the outer panels, ending in clear space on the front cover with the final and fatal explosion time highlighted in red. The design features various texture overlays, distressed type, hand drawn scribbles and scattered graphical elements.

The colours were chosen to reflect the nature of the events, and the use of yellow as the main background tone technically allowed the use of overprinted text throughout the full booklet. This then allowed for an expanded story to be told of this terrible event.

Below are design alternatives created for the Bandcamp version of the booklet artwork. This bonus download was set as a single page design (using a two panel structure for possible home printing) and features most of the original assets from the printed booklet, plus a few extra visual elements originally created for other promotional uses.
