Rapture. Blondie.

VHS Album Cover

For a college photography project, I had to create an album cover using experimental photography. I decided to create a VHS album cover and label, reminiscent of the era of albums on VHS. Having an interest in music from the past, and a personal liking for the album, I used Blondie's 2002 Greatest Hits album as the subject of my design, but made the design entirely myself, combining handmade stencils, photogram and Photoshop.

Everything but the copyright text, logos and colour processing was done by hand in the darkroom. The front cover was an imagining of her song 'Rapture', with the idea of a road leading up to Mars, coming from the man from Mars who eats cars and guitars in the song. I've included both the digital and physical versions.
