Skills: art direction, design, hand-rendered typography
Situation:
It’s a damn shame when excellent albums have cover art that isn’t so excellent. Should it be illegal? Maybe. A designer friend of mine and I answered the question no one was asking: what if we spend hours redesigning album covers for no money or recognition? Mostly over Twitter and Spotify direct messages, ReCover was born.
Action:
This project was started solely as a creative exercise. A fellow designer and I would challenge each other to find these albums, and identify skillsets on every cover that we sought to improve. Feedback was passed between parties and although this is purely a passion project, I feel it challenged my skillset. It’s been ongoing in various capacities for 8+ years.
