D3 F23 LP Redesign

The purpose of this project was to redesign an existing album with type. I chose Kali Uchis Sin Miedo del amor y otros demonios. This album has genres like R&B, reggaeton, pop, soul, and boleros. In addition, Uchis said in an interview that the title of the album is influenced by the novel Love & Other Demons by Gabriel García Márquez which takes place in the 18th century. My concept for the album was inspired by my research, Spanish colonial art, and romance. I decided to use script and serif fonts for the font. In addition, I made the heart for the cover inspired by heart ornaments that are often used to decorate Hispanic homes. My goal was to convey a classic and timeless piece to complement Uchis' take on traditional genres with a mix of modernism.

The goal was to redesign a currently existing album cover as a vinyl along with animating lyrics. I decided to go with Ravage EP by Rema. Listening to the songs on the EP, it felt fiery, and fierce. I decided to do some exploration with the use of fire and hand sanitizer to portray that nature of the music in the EP. I burned my type, took images and videos of the fire to aid in the design of the vinyl.

For this project, I had to redesign a vinyl album and create a lyric animation. I decided to redesign "In Rainbows" by Radiohead. For the cover, I created the main art by cutting out and Layering tissue paper to get both texture and transparency in the colors. I used the same technique on the inside of the album along with typesetting the lyrics. For the back cover, I continued using tissue paper with rainbow, layered dots. This is also echoed in the slip, vinyl sticker, and animation. I chose the song "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" to create tissue paper jigsaw pieces that fall down the screen.

For this project, we had to select an album, and redesign the album’s cover, and create a lyric animation for a song of our choice from the album. I selected the album “Phobia” by the band Breaking Benjamin. Being a rock album, I wanted my design to be striking and eye-catching to reflect the music, which is why I settled on this design and the black, white and red color scheme. The type on the cover is one that I designed myself. The straight lines and sharp edges add to the cover’s aesthetic. I used this font for the lyric animation as well, and did the song “Diary of Jane”, which is the album’s most popular track.

In this project we had to choose an album of our choice and design the cover, as well as the lyrics format inside. The sleeve was optional, so I decided to do it.

For our Vinyl Project we were allowed to pick any album of our choosing and make a Vinyl comp for it. I chose New Jeans's album get up which has a Y2k look to it. I picked pixelated fonts for the web look and included the blue colors from the orginal album.

For the Vinyl album project, I chose to create a design based on Radiohead's studio album "OK Computer.” The songs from this album gave a very tech and computerist feeling, as well as having some gloomy undertones. For my design, I decided to work with a coding/computer aesthetic, using my own manipulated and edited photos of computer screens as well as using some of my own code from my coding class on the front cover. In the end, I loved how it turned out. The overall aesthetic was dark and electric, as well as giving my layouts some tension which I feel matches the mood of the album, OK Computer.

I choose to redesign Dominic Fike’s album Sunburn. My vision board and type studies for the project consisted of beach and summer themes, so I made the main typography with sunscreen and used bright, warm colors throughout the vinyl.

In this project we were tasked with taking an existing album and redesigning it. I chose the 2016 album Awaken My Love by Childish Gambino. I listened through the entire album before designing and got a psychedelic and trippy aesthetic from it. I incorporated these into my design through melting normal san serif letters into psychedelic like visual of bright vibrant colors. This is meant to symbolize not only the funkadelic theme of the album but also as if you were taking a trip yourself as you slowly fade into another universe. I continued a similar theme on the inside as a backdrop for my lyrics and then again with the front design carrying into the back, making the entire design feel cohesive.

We were tasked with creating a Vinyl. I chose Michael Jacksons first solo studio album called "Off the Wall". This Album has always been a staple to me and has many hit songs like "Rock with You" and "Don't stop till you get Enough". From the start I had to idea of doing some play on words with "off the wall". You see this in my cover with a brick literally off the wall. The album itself is very groovy this why I chose a groovy color and typeface. The inside I wanted to continue with the funky vibes and wanted to have it feel like a night club/dance floor.
