Three vinyls, three worlds, vinyl sleeves, illustration

Three 12-inch vinyl sleeves, each designed as a world of its own: the illustration, the palette and the colour of the record answer the mood of the album.

Concept

Three sleeves, three languages. Chromatic Soul: jazz in vibrant flat colours, a saxophonist in a purple suit carried by orange, magenta and plum. The second: an electrified skeleton in acid-green monochrome, with a relief effect close to embossing. No Light Before Morning: silence in line, a figure bound in lines in a white clearing.

Logo, colours and type

Each record extends its sleeve: a two-tone blue and orange vinyl, a translucent green vinyl, a classic black vinyl. A single hue in five values for one, a strict black and white with a nervous line for another.

Final result

One set, three personalities. Lacquered plinths, flat orange, cobalt and acid green: the set stays the same so that only the sleeve changes. The reflections on the floor and the colour of each record extend the world of the album.
