Designers, artists and other creatives were invited to design a sleeve from a track selected and donated by one of the following artists:  Florence & The Machine, Bombay Bicycle Club, DJ Shadow, CSS, The Cure, Noah & The Whale and Ben Howard.

Around 700 sleeve designs were sold at the gallery for £40 a pop, earning some funds for a great cause.
