Some people think having text on an album cover is tacky.
But I think it really comes down to how the typography is incorporated.
There's a difference between simply placing text on an image and making it an integral part of the artwork.
So I decided to explore this idea by designing a fictional album cover of my own.
For this concept, I used playful colors, handwritten text and hand-drawn elements to capture the album's imaginative and whimsical personality.
Rather than treating the title as a separate element, I wanted it to feel like a natural part of the overall design.
What do you think?
Treating the handwritten title as part of the artwork rather than a label on top is the right call. Email designers fight the same battle with hero images: text baked into the picture looks great until an inbox blocks images. Which came first for you, the lettering or the collage?
Great work :)
We kept zooming in on a planet until it didn't fit on the phone.
A ringed gas giant grows until it fills the whole screen and lands on a deep boom. It's drawn in text characters, one per cell, against black space.
It's 11 seconds, and the sound is ours too.
What should we fly past next?
