Sunday Morning Replay Sampler

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

This is the first one in the series of the covers designed purely for practicing purposes. Being a passionate music fan and a CD collector, I considered the best solution for this purpose was creating a pseudo-collection of my favorite tracks at that time. The contours of the bulb pattern on the front cover were drawn in Illustrator, then put into Flash, where a script generated the final layout with its colors chosen randomly with a few restrictions. Unlike the vast majority of the projects these years, I have used the marvelous Gotham typeface for this cover art, which was designed by Tobias Frere-Jones in 2000 for the type foundry Hoefler & Frere-Jones. The relatively large x-height and the shape of the glyphs’ curves match the form of the main graphical motif.
