Personal Project + Photo Design II

Live music is an experience like no other. I chose to embody albums and capture the exact sound, thoughts and feelings that came across from listening.

PETALS FOR ARMOR- HAYLEY WILLIAMS

Released in Spring of 2020, this alternative/indie album is raw, honest and unapologetic. The artist’s journey of self deprecation, acceptance and finding femininity within yourself resonated deeply with me. I wanted to embody the open nature and uncomfortable and clumsy journey of coming into your own through images. I created an LP vinyl packaging and cover for this album.

THE AFTER LAUGHTER SUMMER TOUR- PARAMORE

The album After Laughter from Paramore holds a depressing tone speaking on being “Fake Happy” and inner turmoil issues of how they aren’t expressed beyond our minds and putting on a mask. I chose to turn this into a motif of a smiling face on a disdained face. I brought in a collage element with some watercolor overlaying the illustration. The band themselves are following a bit of a ‘new age’ wave in music so I wanted to make it look ‘out there’ to commemorate that movement. I made this into an entire tour experience including merchandise, tickets, IDs and passes.

THE NIGHT RUNNING TOUR- BECK & CAGE THE ELEPHANT

Cage the Elephant’s latest album was my favorite to date. I felt it was very mysterious and wicked in a way like no other. I wanted to capture that sinister yet scared aura into the piece. Also, to pay homage to how well known the band and their tour partner was I followed the style of an old, rock band tee to create an effortless yet eye catching design to honor all their work.
