    Shy Brothers (Ben and Mike) contacted me a couple weeks ago looking to update their look with a clean and fresh look. With their new album release just around the corner, it was time to get these two into a studio and plan out a final look for the covers.
    I’m keeping the post to more a teaser. I wouldn’t want to release any photographs that might not be used in production. It lets me keep the post simple and clean this time around anyway.

    During my attendance at IMF 2010, I snagged a couple of the flyers to show samples already in print.

    Excluding Shy Brothers, the Euros stole the show on the main stage. Now, let’s get on with the photos!

    Here’s some of the photos from the event:
