Musical Mockup
Designing materials for a musician's fictitious album and tour for a Typography course
Project Details
I was tasked with designing and mocking-up a fictitious record label, cover, and tour
poster for a musical artist of my choosing for my Typography course in the spring of 2024. I chose Laufey as
an artist I am fond of and created a concept that I felt fit her genre and style as an artist. I chose to
highlight the title of this album with the Monotype typeface "Tw Cen MT", complementing it with the artist's
name in the "Freestyle Script" typeface to give it some decorative edge. The final products, after class
critiques and edits, coordinate in color and type without matching too closely to be given some depth and
become part of a series. I used Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop for this project.

The final design for this album cover, after critique sessions and edits to
help me highlight the type and flow.
Album art adjusted to fit on the record label itself, given accurate
dimensions in Illustrator.
The tour poster was the final piece of this project, tying together the
artistic concept and typefaces to be sure they worked together outside of the smaller pieces.
