The Voyager Golden Records are two phonograph records that were included aboard both Voyager spacecrafts launched in 1977. The records contain sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and are intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form who may find them. The Voyager Records are now 46 years old, still sailing across the universe awaiting to come in contact with another lifeform in outer space.
Understanding the this project is meant to be a time capsule explaining the human condition, what would the record look like today? Create your own Voyager Record by selecting 50 images and 12 audio tracks, and designing your own Pioneer Plaque and Playback Diagram. Design this as a 3xLP Box Set package. Design a slipcase, three record sleeves and booklet using your selected images and track listing.

Background
A phonograph record (also known as a gramophone record, especially in British English), a vinyl record (for later varieties only), or simply a record is an analog sound storage medium in the form of a flat disc with an inscribed, modulated spiral groove.
Although vinyl records are an outdated audio format, it’s popularity has risen steadily over the years. The desire for physical based music and media is present in the culture and market.
