created by me for another class assignment
Had to make an album and logo for a neo-folk musician
The album was named "Aiea" and research concluded that one of it's meanings is a political term for "American Indian, Eskimo, Aleaut" so I've decided to throw in some native american art in. (or more acurately first nations, being Kwakwaka'wakw) I've always thought native american/first nations art deserves a revisit in pop culture and this is the perfect oppertunity for it.
The other major homage is the "RCA dog" you see in the old RCA advertisements that I came up through some major creative processing. The wolf ties it all together: with the logo being a sort of moon, and the wolf being both a spiritual animal of the first nations and a great canine replacement for the RCA dog.
The album's layout is supposed to match the new age sound of the song selection I went by, and at the same time it's my statement of going back to the covers you'd expect on the old vinyl LP's. In particular I've studed a lot of covers from the 80's and 70's. The color scheme is related to an Eagles album and the geometric text layout is inspired by a number of 80's new wave albums.
I'm really trying to go against the trends, be my own lowbrow animal, and turn to classic design for inspiration.
EDIT: changed logo in moon

This is so damn cool. I got the refernce to the RCA Victor Dog right away. My one tiny complaint is that the symbol in the moon reminds me of the Playstation logo. But other than that, this is badass. If designing album covers is what you want to do for a living, I say go for it.
