Cover Art
Recently, I had the opportunity to create my first album cover for a college friend! When I listened to his new music I was ready to help turn his lyrics into a visual piece.
The artist described to me that he wanted this album to be called “The Range”, to highlight not only his range as an artist but also bring to light where he in fact wrote these songs. When listening to the unreleased songs and his first album (cover added to the right, done by him), I thought about the errors within his process before hand and the improvements he made within each of the albums. As his music grew better and better, this reminded me of when in golf your strokes are not always 100% or perfect/consistent, so I included things like “error” to highlight actual range aside from a golfing range. I also liked the glitchy aspect of the first album cover so I carried it over to this one’s design to keep within the theme.
The golf ball image was taken by the artist, as he is a photographer too. I then added a peeled back piece of paper design and illustrated the rest of the ball that was now missing to give the center piece a unique factor, as well as a play on a Titleist golf ball/font.
