For the release of their new album, The Future is Medieval, UK band Kaiser Chiefs have collaborated with Wieden + Kennedy London to create a website that allows fans to design their own album cover and bespoke selection of tracks, and even make money from their creations...
The site, kaiserchiefs.com, features a series of 'machines' that users interact with to create their own album. First up, you're invited to choose the tracks that you want to feature on your album, by plugging wires into a weird selection of objects that each represent a song:
Once your song choices are complete, you then move along to the 'artwork creator', where you can pick from a range of images and backgrounds to create your individual cover. Here are some we made earlier:
Once completed, you can purchase your album (for £7.50), and are then given the option to sell your bespoke version of The Future is Medieval via the Kaiser Chiefs site. For each copy of your individual album that is sold, you will receive £1 in commission. The site also offers blog banner ads and posters for you to promote your particular cover/playlist via your own website/blog etc. The band will then reward 'super-sellers' with special prizes announced later on Facebook and Twitter.
