Designing album artwork for Ivy Levan was a fun and exciting challenge that allowed me to unleash my creativity and showcase my skills as a graphic designer. From the outset, I knew that I wanted to create something that would reflect Ivy’s unique style and personality while also resonating with a wider audience.
To begin the redesign process, I took the time to carefully study Ivy’s music, style, and overall brand image. I listened to her previous albums, watched her music videos, and analyzed her fashion choices to get a better understanding of her artistic vision. From this research, I was able to identify key themes and motifs that I could incorporate into the album artwork.
One of the key themes that stood out to me was the concept of duality. Ivy often explores the contrast between light and dark, good and evil, and the human experience as a whole. I wanted the artwork to reflect this theme and to be visually striking enough to capture the attention of potential listeners.
To achieve this, I decided to use bold, contrasting colors such as black and white and incorporate them into a series of abstract shapes. I experimented with various compositions and layouts until I found a design that I was happy with. I then began refining the details, adding textures and overlays to create depth and dimension.
Typography was also a crucial aspect of the design. I wanted Ivy’s name to stand out and be immediately recognizable, so I used bold, block letters that were easy to read and added a sense of prominence to the overall composition.
The final result was a bold and visually striking artwork that effectively captured the essence of Ivy’s music and style. The contrast between the black and white shapes created a sense of tension and drama, while the textured overlays added depth and dimension. The bold typography ensured that Ivy’s name was the centerpiece of the design, making it easily recognizable and memorable.
In conclusion, redesigning Ivy Levan’s album artwork was an incredibly rewarding experience that allowed me to explore new creative avenues and showcase my skills as a graphic designer. By incorporating her duality concept with bold colors and abstract shapes, I was able to create a design that was both visually striking and conceptually meaningful. I can’t wait for her fans to see it and am excited to see how it will resonate with a wider audience.
