Graphic Artist for making record labels/jackets needed

[Curley-Ann]

Hey there--
It's been a long while since I've been here...and it's good to be back!
This year, I am looking to launch a new label (Echo Records)...vinyl releases only...and 90% of our output will be 78 rpm.
I am in desperate need of someone who can step-in as our new graphic artist and take my rough drafts for label and jacket ideas and turn them into perfected, useful items.
I am a nostalgist--and all of the labels I have in mind MUST resemble the classic designs of labels made in the 1920's, 30's, 40's and even early 50's!
For our first issue...which will be a 10" 78...I want the label to have the "look" of the black & gold OKeh label from the mid-20's...
Please feel free to e-mail me if you have the talent for doing this, and have the vision to turn out what I'm looking for.
Together, we can make Echo a new label to be proud of!
Thanks!

I've noticed that as far as templates for Adobe Illustrator, Quark, etc., are concerned, there are none for 78 RPM center labels (which, from the 1930's, were 3" in diameter); instead, the same size as used up to the '20's (approximately what would later be used for 45 RPM labels) have been used instead, in recent years.

But in any case, good luck in your endeavors.
