Brief -
To create a special edition vinyl cover for a band and have it visual represent the style and subject matter of the music.
Rationale -
Imagine dragons’ Night Visions album has strong themes of depression, reinvention and being lost. I worked on a series of textures that would best communicate these aspects of the album. I started my initial designs using spray paint in a way that created depth and a sense of chaos. I used this technique to create the textures of the packaging as well as a series of negative space “constellations” that were featured in the lyrics book that accompanied the vinyl. The backgrounds of the textures were made with acrylic; then a constellation stencil covered the design then they were spray-painted and the stencil removed. The designs were later loaded into photo shop were they were retouched and the Imagine dragons Logo added.
