LP Cover Redesign
Typography 2
Summer 2023
The goal of this project was to analyze and create a redesigned visual identity that reflects the essence of Wasteland, Baby! by Hozier. This album evokes a deeply atmospheric tone with themes of love, chaos, and renewal.
I explored how design could enhance the album’s narrative and emotional impact. Below is a summary of my research, conceptual development, and final design.
Brainstorming/Sketching:
Big Idea: Apocalyptic Love
My initial idea was to represent a satirical, ‘accidentally falling in love at the worst time' ironic state. I wanted to convey the oxymoron of love in the worst conditions. I began sketching and collecting ideas that related to my big idea before creating a central concept.
Preparing The Set:
Next I built the scene for my photo shoot. I focused on creating a distressed couch with the title spray painted across.
I found a discarded futon and added the type before distressing it further.
