Re-Rationale

Good is putting the needle on the record...


Why?
- Better sound quality than your standard MP3 file or CD
- The dust and scratches add to authentic feel of the analogue format

- As graphic designers we love print and album art
- Nothing digital compares to the feeling of putting the needle on the record

I intend to promote and direct music lovers and people who have never 
experienced playing and listening to a vinyl that it is still a wonderful way of enjoying music. 



I also want to try and work with current nightclubs such as Acetate that runs a 100% vinyl night in Leeds.

Product
A promotional campaign directs  electronic music enthusiasts to experience playing a vinyl and try it out for themselves. 
Using an informal and humorous tone of voice in first person. 

I also want to try and work with current nightclubs such as Acetate that runs a 100% vinyl night in Leeds.
