Album Packaging & Photobook Design

Overview

"Bad Mood Tape" is an album that explores the different stages and self-destructive emotions of the artist.





Process

Much of the music in this album expresses the negative emotions the artist sometimes feels, and how it can affect their struggles with depression. The artist describes a side effect of these emotions as being unable to leave their bed or be productive for the day, and rather sinking deeper and deeper into their thoughts.

I tried to portray this idea while taking the photos for this project, using editing and color grading to further bring the concept to life. While editing and color grading, I tried to achieve the "cinematic" look by increasing the contrast and enhancing the blue tones in the images. This created a moody and melancholic atmosphere in the images.
