This is an album cover I made for a music project. The band is named BinaryRed makes trance / electronica music. I chose a type face that would go along with their name, a computer style (I can't remember the name of it right now) then I found an image of a heart in binary, but had black 1s and 0s around it. So I edited out the black 1s and 0s to bring a clearer focus to the image and added in the layers for the band title at the top, and album title at the bottom. The band was pleased with this cover. Their music is simplistic in its execution so they didn't want too much going on in their album cover. They thought this was perfect because it clearly showed who they were without clutter or confusion.

Nice job. I like the contrast between the hand-lettered effect of the typeface and the digital nature of the 0s and 1s.
ReplyDeleteIs Binary Red local?
Quite. It's my solo project when I'm not working on other music actually. It's mainly just different composition with Garageband and random loops I find online.
