Stuart Howard's third album Ruinism certainly didn't go unnoticed. Considered by most as an affirmation of his musical career, Lapalux's compositions veer off into the abstract, somewhere between a classical and post-electro mindset. Prominently featuring women collaborator, the record can feels as much cold and dystopic as sensitive and humane.
For this project I was tasked to redesign the vinyl sleeve of this album. Applying the iterative design methodology, I meticulously explored various concepts and refined my ideas to create a strong design for the sleeve. The final piece is a portrait of my listening experience of the album. The colour palette is evocative of the strong feminine contribution to the album, while the shape and texture is a depiction of the abstract quality of Howard's composition.
