SUMMARY: Simple album cover design for my band, Valienta’s single “In My Blood”
OBJECTIVE: Create type-based album artwork for my Valienta’s single “In My Blood”
SOLUTION: Developed album artwork using a blackletter font in red centered over a black background with a “crunched” paper effect.
OUTCOME: Used analog techniques to create the finished artwork by printing the text in red on black paper using an inkjet printer and physically crumpling it to make the paper effect. Smoothed it out, rescanned and retouched curves to create the digital final with proper color.
TOOLS: Adobe Photoshop, Analog collage and scans
