Rationale

Personal: I believe that my vinyl album cover design was a success. Given the brief of limited category imagery to my discretion, I was able to pull all elements and principles together to form the design.
I was extremely surprised at what came together as this final product was not my first concept I started creating when given the assignment.

Professional design: The figure walking in isolation, being followed by it’s reflection is the main focus. Using contrast to make the image stand out and direction with line to show movement/travel.
Monochromatic colours to give depth and mood, whilst using opacity to fade the skulls, so everything isn’t clashing, fighting for attention.
There’s scale & texture on the devil figure being huge whilst the white silhouette is small and flat white. The design isn’t congested full of imagery, there is a lot of white space to breathe.
The font chosen is a slight slab serif font which isn’t too solid and heavy.

Artistic artwork: The piece as a whole tells a story. Before the fonts, the whole cover shows the devil, mystery of death, space, colours, line, balance and I believe it works by the golden rule. Throughout symbolism used in every piece placed on the design.
