Final Cover

Typography Scans

I tried scanning a combination of the letters, a metal mesh, and a textured paper. Here are a couple experiments. I like the text on the top layer best. However, I need a richer background material and my letters are too big for the scanner.

Cover and Back Options

Another cover option and some options for the back:

I'm trying to push the typography and background further. Let me know what you like / give me any suggestions you have.

Ripped Letters

I wanted to go in a different direction and try something hand-made, so I ripped paper to create the type for the CD cover.

New CD Cover Ideas

New Idea

These alternatives are a little more subtle/softer than my previous designs. I think they work better with the music, but they still use some of the blockier sans-serif fonts I've been looking at.

First (Second) Attempt

Here's my first (second) attempt at a CD cover for John Mayer's album "Battle Studies." Much more will come, but let me know what you think.

More Swipe

Here's some more swipe with more modern examples included. I've also included some blues CD covers for reference.

So after last class, I decided to take a step back and do some research. I found myself drawn to graphics from the Bauhaus, Futurism, and De Stijl movements. I'm going to continue with the CD cover project, so hopefully this swipe will provide some inspiration.

I'm working on developing a set of Haiti posters, similar to the first ones I've created.
