Alpha Yang
WHAT I DID
Album and Track Cover Design
OVERVIEW
Alpha Yang is a solo artist based in the Philippines.
His passion lies in writing and producing his own music, which is mostly in the electronic pop genre.
I had the pleasure of designing the cover art for three of his singles as well as his first album called 'Spellbound.'
The client wanted vector style illustrations. He requested the specific centerpieces featured above, with the theme of being lost at sea. I used shadows and gradients to create depth that relates to being underwater. The dark tones exemplified the concepts of feeling lost, to wander, and to reflect.
The client’s plan was to publish all three tracks before the album and tell a story through each release. Now with the setting being above water, I used brighter and warmer tones compared to the previous tracks. The concept here is that there is still uncertainty but there is now hope and a sense of direction as well.
