Continue on with this post to see more photos of The Dreamer/The Believer album packaging that I designed.
Designing the cover and album packaging for Common's new album was hands-down the most fun project I've worked on in the last year. I loved how open Common was to an artistic image on the cover of his album, and I really enjoyed laying out all the type and information in the booklet along with imagery of Common, despite the challenge of fitting everything into a small 3-panel foldout. This was my first album design project and I hope to do more in the future!

You can also check out the album artwork at Pitchfork's review of The Dreamer/The Believer. 7.6, not bad!
As a final note, despite some internet rumors that are, to me, quite flabbergasting, there were no Illuminati-based messages or symbols placed into this artwork or in mind while I was creating it. Or were there...?
