Album Cover Design: Echoes of Tomorrow

A synthwave album cover for Crystal Grid, a band I invented for the brief (SCF coursework, Typography, 2025).

The brief

Design a digital album cover for music streaming sites, with typography leading the design.

How it was made

I built the city skyline, cloud gradient and title in Photoshop, rendered the wireframe pyramid, glowing form and wave grid in Blender, then composited everything into one 4000 × 4000 px square. Because streaming covers show up tiny on phones, the cover is built to read at thumbnail size.

Instructor feedback

"Your design shows effective storytelling and impactful connection to meaning."

Format: Square digital cover, 4000 × 4000 px. Tools: Adobe Photoshop, Blender.
