Since I’m kind of a completist at heart when it comes to music I’m passionate about, I couldn’t handle having Love For Sale in my album collection without artwork. So I decided to design simple, clean artwork to print out and put inside a jewel case. Oh and also because my greatest joy design-wise is designing album art for musicians, however miniscule the final concept may be.
I was limited on imagery to use, since there isn’t a whole lot about Bilal on the internet, period. I chose to utilize the best I could find, however inappropriate for a studio album it may be. I was almost going to approach this in a very psychedelic manner, but chose to just keep it simple and I didn’t want to spend too long on it.
Anyway, figured I’d share it, for any of you other die-hard Bilal fans out there who’d like artwork but don’t have the means to produce some.
I’ve been colorful lately in design work, don’t know what that’s about…guess it’s a phase.
Otherwise, I encourage you to design your own and share. I know I’d like to see it.
Note: This prints best on standard card stock. It gives it a nice vintage faded look, which I was going for.
