And here is our most favorite music design project – the new album cover of our friends – Perfect Skies. They are a Bulgarian punk-rock band and their first album is called “Takeoffs and Landings”.
The cover design is inspired by the name of the band and album.
On the front side first you see an airplane that is going to crash. Inside the explosion there are small fiеry musical notes and symbols.
The surprise is at the back side – a sexy pin-up girl holding a wrench and a treble clef. She looks playful and a little evil. The hidden concept behind the girl is to illustrate the violent power that women have over everything – they are usually the reason for all emotional and creative takeoffs and landings. In her shadow you can see her devil horns drawn very delicate, almost invisible, just for the observant eye. Under her legs – small parts ( which are also musical symbols ) that had been removed from the airplane… She’s a bad girl, isn’t she ? :)
The CD inside is simple and elegant – blue gradient as the sky when you’are flying over the clouds.
The digipack is printed on 300 g cardboard with glossy UV varnish.
Because of the lyrics length we had to use small font size – that is why we chose the white background. White text on color background woudn’t be that good idea for print.
And a few more shots from different angles:
