Year created: 2024
Project Overview: my client wanted me to design cover art for an up-and-coming album for the singer Rihanna and a couple of Spotify and Instagram mockups to get a better idea of what it might look like when the album is finally released.
Artist Statement: As many of us may know, Rihanna hasn't released an album in years and many of us are anxious to get some more information about her new album. she's assured her fans that the reggae-inspired album is in the works but now it's just a matter of time. I decided to do this project because I too am ready to see what she has in store for us. with some research and imagination, I made some inferences as to what her next album cover might look like. I wondered what some song names might be and who she might feature on her album. I looked at some of her previous covers and noticed that they all seem to have a limited color pallet, but red is usually featured. She is also featured on all of her cover art. I tweaked one of her photos from the April 2024 issue of Chinese Vogue in Photoshop to create a glitchy, hazed effect and used Illustrator to add the graphic elements. I then used Figma to create the prototype/mockups for Spotify and Instagram.
