concept
The concept of this project was to re-design an existing album cover. Photography was the main element and typography the second element. Both should reflect the theme of the album and artist.
Original Cover
Mood Board & Inspiration
The meaning behind Chris Stapleton's album "Starting Over" is about new beginnings. The pictures of someone in a car gives the idea of someone who might be traveling to start over or starting a new chapter of their life. Chris Stapleton's music is a mix of country, classic rock, and Southern soul, so the boots would be an important part in the photos.

iterations
While experimenting with typography, many typefaces were explored. The calligraphic handwritten typeface was flattering for Chris Stapleton's feel of his songs, especially for this album. Since the meaning of his album was starting over, something simple and light seemed fitting.
