Cellista

Description

Cellista creates beautiful electronic cello music, often accompanied by other musicians. I was hired to design an album around this original piece of artwork by Joseph Loughborough, and inspired by Cellista’s latest work, Transfigurations. One main challenge was balancing the proportions of the artwork with the dimensions of a printed CD book. If you’re looking for the Golden Ratio, keep looking, it ain’t there! 

The feel needed to be dark and heavy, like the album which is political in nature. You’ll see I explored a number of different directions and after choosing one, continued to explore around that black, red, and white theme playing with lots of different typefaces and fonts.
