Poisoned Whiskey Records in an underground an up and coming independent Record label based in South Wales. Their aim has always been to help the music community in South Wales. Both bands and people involved in the music community (Photographers, Journalists, Promoters, Designers) are actively encouraged to contribute to Poisoned Whiskey's events. Poisoned Whiskey Records did a lot to help me in when I was back in Wales.
Their own description of what they do is:
"We're a very proud DIY Record label based in the hideously dark and scary Rhondda Valleys in South Wales. Punk rock by nature, not by genre, Poisoned Whiskey is a group of like minded individuals who are about music and camaraderie, supporting our local scene and supporting our friends, whether they be band's, writer's, artists or vagrants. We put on gig's and club nights around our area, always paying the band's, and putting the rest back in to the label to release kick ass records!!!"
I'm waiting full confirmation of what they need from me, but I will be conducting a full overhaul of their design output in order to assist with their push to reach out further.
Preliminary discussions has raised this list of outcomes for consideration:
Website
Poster Layouts for future gig promotions
Flyer Design Layouts, Stickers
Merchandise.
Press pack for promoting the label and it's bands further (maybe including a Dvd, with brief promotional video)
Web virals to spread through the web.
Design and promotion for a future record release.

Project ok...if you are happy that it offers creative scope and that you can liaise with a client who will allow you to extend your skills...then approved.

A better description:
The brief for this is to create a website that is open to contribution from people surrounding the music scene in South Wales as well as promote the actual bands themselves. The aim is to encourage the involvement of local photographers, journalists, writers, designers and more involved to contribute work. In creating an outlet for those surrounding the scene as well as the bands then we aim to create an outlet for the creative of South Wales who don’t always get a chance.
A key example of this is Rachel Tresize, a writer who spent 4 months on tour with Merthyr band, Midasuno; her diary of their exploits on their time travelling the country has just recently won her the prestigious Dylan Thomas award for writing. The ideal has always been that helping each other out is mutually beneficial for all concerned.
Of course we mustn’t forget the actual bands themselves but the idea that in showing other people’s enthusiasm for the bands being helped puts them on the radar of people who will push them further.
From this design the hope is to continue to push the design through to the more mundane aspects of the label to give the label design continuity.
• Posters/Flyers/Stickers
• Merchandise
• Press Packs
• Web Virals
There may also be the opportunity to make a brief DVD presentation and work on the next Poisoned Whiskey Records release.
