What I’m Working On - 11/02/19

A MONTH IN TO THE YEAR I HAVE FOUND MYSELF LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT WAYS TO IMPROVE AND NEW PROJECTS TO WORK MORE WITH THE CONTENT I ENJOY. THE FIRST PROJECT I HAVE BEGUN TO WORK ON IS THE PRODUCTION OF ALTERNATE ARTWORK FOR VARIOUS ALBUMS AND SONGS.

Album Artwork

With each new album cover the intention is to experiment with new techniques and provide a twist on the existing identities present with each album and their artist. For example with the first entry to the collection I chose Saba’s album ‘Care For Me’ and used a couple images that accompanied the artist’s album release whilst sticking with a colour theme similar to the original. I then incorporated outlined text and added a select bit of colour to accentuate key parts of the design. I was interested in experimenting with artificial tears in Photoshop and believed this suited the aesthetic of what I was working with here.

After working on a self-set task such as this, I felt that I could be suited to working on more similar little projects and this is where a broader series has formed. Working from music and albums from artists I enjoy I have been creating more and more new alternate LP designs. At the moment I am remaining rather laidback in regards to the output of these but it would be nice to produce at least one or two every week, especially to be in line with any new album releases as well.
