Storybook songbooks

Today we start project 7 which is to design an album cover with a wee mini book included.  So I'm currently researching the song and artist I have been given and looking at the design styles from the era it was written (1970s). 

I found some examples of Sainsbury's own design package labels in an old Guardian magazine I was looking through for the last project. The packaging examples are taken from the book 'own label' showing exmples of their 'own brand' label between 1962 - 1977 - very striking designs.  I liked them so much I cut them out of the magazine and stuck them in a frame in my studio.

Imagine my excitement when I then found the book in the University library!! I'm hoping to get inspiration from this for my colour palette and 70's design.
