Fan Made Coldplay: Higher Power Album Design

This is an album cover design for Coldplay's new single, "Higher Power". Many album covers nowadays in the streaming service adds motion to their still image album cover. In the near future, I strongly believe that all the album covers will have animations in their design so that the viewers can enjoy a motion album cover while listening to the music. The album title logo and moving graphic were created using Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effect, and Cinema 4D.
Learning Outcomes:
The research skill that I learned from Art Of Research has helped me to develop a strong concept. I have spent a week researching about their new single, Higher Power. This helped me to understand the story behind the song. I also challenged myself to use Cinema 4D to create a futuristic / science fiction taste album design cover which helped me to develop my 3D rendering skills. I challenged myself to design an original typeface for the title which was very enjoyable to work on.
This was all painted by me using acrylic paint.
