Individial

This project aims to repackage a beloved album using our skills in Adobe Photoshop and Indesign. This was done in order to evaluate our usage of typography and photo manipulation. I decided to go with Hozier's 'Wasteland Baby'.

Hozier is an Irish singer and song writer known for his unique sound that combinesblues, gospel, and soul. He is best known for his single, ‘Take Me to Church’ (Genius,2024).

Solution

My concept is consistent with Hozier’s music and “brand” by making references to his lyrics. As mentioned before, his lyrics have a lot of natural elements in them that the uses as metaphors for love. I also believe featuring an iconic couple from mythology, Eros and Psyche, would help emphasize this. In the title track’s lyrics, it mentioned how human love is resilient amidst the tragedies in the world, much like how the love between Psyche and Eros stayed loyal to each other despite the challenges Aphrodite placed upon Psyche.
