Fat Freddy’s Drop came to us for the design of their new album Blackbird.
i Blackbirds, like crows, can be mythical symbols of ominous forces and so the image on the cover has power and strength highlighted by the contrast of the loose, inky hand-drawn brushstrokes against a stark, white background. The effect has movement and energy and creates a sophisticated, timeless appeal.
The illustration is hyper-real in its detail. This gives depth, intrigue and draws the viewer in for a closer look. Even the type-face logo is hand-drawn.
