Handmade Album Covers Created by Graphic Design Students #ArtTuesday
via Creative Boom
As creatives, we love a good “handmade” brief. It’s something we often task our students at Shillington with. To design an album, book cover or movie poster of their choice, but with a major twist. They have to think outside the box, away from a computer screen.
Having to work with their hands can yield incredible outcomes. They’re forced to explore what they know about the design principles, colour theory, lateral thinking and typography – away from the influence of digital.
Students usually learn a new skill or tackle a new technique – then bring it on-screen to finesse and finalise. It’s obviously a challenge to reimagine their sleeves, picking from hundreds of thousands of existing musical masterpieces, but we’re always amazed by the results.
