LP Cover Redesign
Fall 2023
Typography 3
The purpose of this project was to effectively identify the theme of an album of my choice and redesign it. I chose to research and redesign the album ‘Wasteland, Baby!’ by Hozier. The following is a compilation of my process work.
Brainstorming/Sketching:
Big Idea: Apocalyptic Love
My initial idea upon choosing this album cover was to find a way to represent a satirical, accidentally falling in love at the worst possible time, ironic emotion. I began sketching and collecting ideas that related to my big idea.
Preparing The Set:
My next task was to build the scene for my photo shoot. The key component was creating a distressed couch with the title spray-painted across for my subjects to dance around. I found a discarded futon and added the type before distressing it further to make it look like it belonged at a dump site.
