Merging two realms of art—one visual and one auditory—involved countless hours listening to Gregory Alan Isakov’s The Weatherman album, developing fitting iconography and identity through color palette and typeface combinations. Isakov’s sound presents themes of longing, a search for home, and the duality of love given vs. love not accepted, messages echoed in my design. The album sleeve includes a frosted glass effect of an Amsterdam landscape (referenced in one of his songs), and a photograph of a room abandoned save for two uninhabited chairs looking out an open window whose symbolism fulfills the representation of yearning for an experience or person, yet remaining trapped behind a barrier. In the vinyl labels, I utilized inclusion of color to contrast the monochromatic sleeve. The visual imagery of a windmill reflects the agricultural, organic metaphors Isakov writes, but also a whispered comment on his personal connection to horticulture.
