Flathead Valley Community College Transfer

Typography Album Covers

Aerosmith, Rihanna, and Russ

The instructions for this assignment at Flathead Valley Community College were to remake three of our favorite album covers using solely typography (with a few exceptions but no illustrations/photos). The cover had to be identical to the band's original design but redesigned with text. By using the typewriter font Juniper, it showcases a dark and edgy ambiance that keeps the viewers wanting to know more. Building off these last two semesters, I understand that typography and color go hand in hand with each other. With that knowledge, I used a san serif font with an ornate display with a dark red to capture a sense of uneasiness. I took advantage of the simple design by using minimal colors in my scheme and focal points to create a cohesive and visually precise composition.

From the original to the final, minor changes were made. The Aerosmith and Russ albums just had some tweaks with the typography. For the Rhianna album, I decided it would contrast well by adding in white for the red background. I also added the crown as a focal point and to add a small difference to the cohesiveness.
