THIS BOOK IS NAMED “ALBUM ART: COLOR + CONTENT + CONTEXT”, AND IT IS COMPLETELY DESIGNED AND WRITTEN BY MYSELF. THIS BOOK IS AN EXERCISE IN DESIGN FOR PRINT, BUT ALSO A TRUE STUDY OF THE CAREER FIELD I ALIGN MYSELF IN. ALBUM COVERS ARE LIKE FRONT DOORS TO THE UNIVERSE AN ALBUM PAINTS. EACH ONE HAS ITS OWN CREATIVE CHOICES, OF WHICH I SUMMARIZED IN THREE CATEGORIES; COLOR, CONTENT AND CONTEXT. THIS BOOK IS MEANT TO EDUCATE, BUT TRUTFYLLY SERVE AS MORE OF A VISUAL. I DESIGNED THIS BOOK TO SIT AMONGST COFFEE TABLES AMONG OTHER DESIGN BOOKS THAT HAVE INSPIRED ME.

Overview:
Art Direction:
THE VISUAL STRATEGY FOR THIS BOOK VARIES ON THE SECTION. IT’S SELF EXPLANATORY: THE DESIGN ON THE COLOR PAGES ARE MEANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE COLOR CHOICES OF FAMOUS ALBUM COVERS, THE CHAPTER PAGES ARE MEANT TO DISPLAY WHAT IS FORTHCOMING, ETC. HOWEVER, THE STRATEGY FOR THE WHOLE BOOK IS CONSISTENT. I STUCK TO SLEEK, MODERN DESIGN METHODS THAT KEPT THE BOOK COHESIVE WHILE ALSO VISUALLY INTERESTING. THE BOOK IS INSPIRED BY MODERNIST DESIGN,WITH TOUCHES OF MY MOST PROMINENT INTERESTS; LIKE POP MUSIC AND 2000S DESIGN AESTHETICS.
