If people are interested, I can post the PDFs from which to make this somewhere. I designed it all in Indesign, and all the bits print out onto 3 or 4 A4 pages of card, from memory.

You know, pre-internet days, I'm sure a lot more of this kind of thing would be going on.

It would really take the awesomeness of the photos to enormous proportions to have tiny animals inside the shop browsing around...

Clarke B., Tuesday, 21 February 2012 14:43 (twelve years ago) link

Wonder if any of the customers can be found on this thread.

I would play with this all day, so awesome.

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 19:25 (twelve years ago) link

Would be wicked if you could post the PDFs, James. If only to look at the albums you selected.

Moka, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 19:30 (twelve years ago) link

Would be five stars, but the t-shirts all seem to be for small children.

James Mitchell, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:11 (twelve years ago) link

Definitely my fave ilx thread after 11 odd years here. Amazing work James. You could make a fortune selling these. Esp if you charged for different album covers made to order.
I know I'd buy one. Put me first in the queue if you do! I wish I had the skills to make one, was always hopeless at art.

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:19 (twelve years ago) link

The store should be called TINYL. That is all.
