Distilled

CD cover art and inlay design for a rather overwhelming music compilation. Digital media. Created as a private work on desktop PC in 2008.

After finishing the “Replay Sampler” (and being only partly satisfied with it) I decided to draw a more drastically minimal layout for a minimal music collection. The idea came from an old website where I animated parts of letters made of squares only. The goal was to create a picture that shows a word in different stages of its state: the upbuilding bending into the disintegration with a smooth movement. The ChaletComprimé typeface—created by Paul van der Laan for a companion family of House Industries’ Chalet—used throughout the whole design is the one I used in several other projects too these years.
