Bradbury 13

In 1983, Michael McDonough adapted 13 short stories by the author Ray Bradbury, into episodic radio plays. Each episode transports us to a new setting, new characters with different plots and themes.

For this project, I created a series of vinyl cover art which illustrates each story.
