Album Cover Re-Design
I wanted to capture the many mixed emotions that this album expresses; it's nostalgic, slow and melancholy, but also joyful, upbeat and tongue-in-cheek.
The album was released in the 1970's, a decade when homosexuality wasn't widely accepted. The outside of my 3D design displays a heavily 70's themed living room; typical and ordinary. Not everything is as it seems, hidden inside are a pair of erotic leather pants to represent mischievous nod of the album. The drawer is opened via the curtain tassel and the album sits inside the pants. The design theme runs through to the back, setting the song list in a spherical shape and using retro typography.
My album was chosen to be exhibited as a hard copy in an exhibition at Rough Trade, and I received high praise from tutors for thinking differently and producing a well-executed product.
