Artcell

Album + Vinyl Design

A vinyl album design for Artcell, the Bangladeshi rock band I grew up listening to. The sleeve borrows from Russian Constructivism: a hard diagonal split, a megaphone burst of sound, and a strict palette of red, cream and black.

Front cover as printed: band photo cut on a red and cream diagonal with the ARTCELL title
Back cover as printed: track list along red rays leading to a large record
Mockup: record beside the back of the sleeve on a red background

what I did

I started by studying Constructivist posters and photographing the band as cut-out silhouettes, so each member could be placed into the composition like a collage piece.

The front cover splits the square on a diagonal, with the band in black and white against a red field. The back cover turns the same rays into a track list. The two record labels are typographic: words spiral into the centre so the label reads as it turns.

Record label A: spiralling black and red type around the spindle
Record label B: red label with rows of cream type
Mockup: front of the sleeve with the record
